Indian Navy to Equip Legacy Kashin and Veer Classes with BrahMos

India's Ministry of Defence signed an approximately 661.5-crore-rupee contract with BrahMos Aerospace for fire-control systems and launchers to equip four older Indian Navy combatants. The planned installations cover two Ranvir-class destroyers, derived from the Soviet Kashin family, and two Veer-class missile corvettes, extending the BrahMos missile system across existing hulls. The package concerns shipboard launch and fire-control equipment needed to operate the supersonic cruise missile rather than acquisition of four new warships. Indian authorities report substantial domestic industrial content in the order, which is intended to strengthen the vessels' precision maritime-strike capability.
