    • BrahMos, the world's only supersonic cruise missile cannot be intercepted by an enemy in the next 20 years. A Sivathanu Pillai, CEO and MD of BrahMos Aerospace has said that "the equivalent of BrahMos is yet to built. And, in the next 20 years, it cannot be intercepted by an enemy." Pillai added further, "We take pride in the fact that BrahMos, world's only supersonic cruise missile, a symbol of Indo-Russian co- operation, where India provided the guidance, avionics, software and airframe components, etc, has been successfully delivered to both the Indian Navy and the Indian Army and the aerial version for the Indian Air Force too shall be ready in few years time." 1
    In another development, according to reports, CRPF Director General Pranay Sahay has said that "this fight against Naxals will continue. There will be no let-up (on this front)." It would be worth noting that CRPF which is the largest paramilitary force of the country has deployed almost 85 battalions (85,000 personnel) in Left Wing Extremism-hit areas at present. 2
