The visit by Sheikh Nahyan not only showcased the missile’s capabilities but also symbolized the strengthening of defense ties between India and the UAE. The presence of such high-level dignitaries at the BrahMos pavilion indicates a mutual interest in expanding military cooperation, technology transfer, and joint ventures in defense production.
