India has played such a masterstroke on the global chessboard of international diplomacy, which has created fear in the defense circles of Türkiye and its all-weather friend Pakistan. A very important ‘strategic partnership’ between India and Cyprus has changed the entire equation of the Mediterranean Sea. Under this new alliance, the way for India’s most deadly and accurate supersonic cruise missile ‘BrahMos’ to reach Cyprus and Greece seems to be cleared. Indian Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar’s recent visit to Cyprus has sent Turkish strategists into a heartbeat as Cyprus has shown keen interest in purchasing BrahMos missiles and deadly Kamikaze drones from India. What is the entire plan of Modi government and the truth about the entry of BrahMos? This major strategic development started when Cyprus President Nicos Christodoulides visited India and held bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Soon after this, Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar himself reached Cyprus, where a strong bilateral defense cooperation roadmap between the two countries for the year 2026 to 2031 was approved. According to latest defense reports, Cyprus has expressed its desire to induct the world’s fastest supersonic missile BrahMos as well as India’s indigenous kamikaze drones (such as Nagastra-1 and Skystriker) into its army. It is believed that this mega deal can be done under the special defense package of about 1.2 billion euros given to the Greek Cyprus administration under the ‘SAFE’ program of the European Union (EU). 3 big reasons behind Turkish President Erdogan’s sleepless nights: This news is no less than a big shock for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Ankara’s military analysts. There are many very serious and concrete strategic reasons behind this: Changing military balance: Turkey has illegally occupied a large part of Northern Cyprus for decades. With Cyprus having an accurate missile like BrahMos, the military balance in the region will completely tilt in favor of India’s friends. Invincible Defense Wall: Turkish defense experts fear that with the help of Indian weapons, Cyprus and Greece will together build a maze-like defense wall against Turkey, which will be impossible for the Turkish army to penetrate. BrahMos access to Greece: There is a discussion in the defense circles of Ankara that ‘Cyprus is just a means for India, the real objective is to take BrahMos to Greece.’ There is an old and very serious dispute going on between Greece and Türkiye regarding the maritime border in the Aegean Sea. India’s fierce ‘strategic counterattack’ on Turkey’s audacity. Actually, this step of India is not without reason. During the India-Pakistan conflict in May 2025, Turkey secretly supplied hundreds of modern drones to Pakistan. Apart from this, President Erdogan has been spewing venom against India and in support of Pakistan on the Kashmir issue in every international forum. Now India has given a befitting reply to Ankara by opening the option of deploying its most lethal weapons right under Türkiye’s nose (in the Mediterranean Sea). No Turkish air defense system will be able to stand against BrahMos, which attacks at supersonic speeds of Mach 2.8 to Mach 3. Fighter jets clashed in the sky, Greek planes chased away Turkey. Amidst this heavy tension, the military conflict between Turkey and Greece over the islands of the Eastern Aegean Sea has increased further. Recently, Türkiye’s F-16 fighter jets and CN-235 surveillance aircraft dared to violate Greece’s airspace. In response, Greece’s fighter planes immediately took off roaring and a dangerous ‘simulated dogfight’ was seen in the sky between the jets of the two countries. Shocked by this incident, Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Gular said in a threatening tone that Turkey will not compromise its interests in the Mediterranean Sea and Cyprus, which Athens (Greece) rejected as a fabrication. A great war broke out on social media, Greek citizens became fans of Indians. The effect of this strategic movement is also clearly visible on the social media platform ‘X’ (earlier Twitter). Turkish nationalists and users allege that Greece is hatching a big conspiracy to encircle Turkey by making India a pawn. On the other hand, citizens of Greece and Cyprus are praising India and Prime Minister Modi on social media. Greek users say that it is a matter of pride for them to have the support of a superpower like India, due to which they will be able to face every bullying behavior of Türkiye boldly.
