Pakistan admits BrahMos speed caught their defence off guard during Op Sindoor

A senior Pakistani politician and close aide to Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has revealed that Pakistan’s military had just 30 to 45 seconds to determine whether the Brahmos missile launched by India during Operation Sindoor carried a nuclear warhead. Rana Panawla, special assistant to the Prime Minister, stated in an interview that the launch of the Brahmos cruise missile left Pakistan’s defense apparatus scrambling. The Pakistani official also made claims about former US President Donald Trump’s role in mediating a peace deal during the operation. This admission comes as Pakistan faces criticism for contradictory statements about its defense capabilities and the impact of India’s missile strikes.
