Explanation

All three statements regarding India's military arsenal are correct. The HAMMER (Highly Agile Modular Munition Extended Range) is a precision-guided weapon system of French origin, specifically integrated into the Rafale fighter aircraft to enhance its air-to-ground strike capabilities. The SCALP (Système de Croisière Autonome à Longue Portée) is a long-range, air-launched cruise missile developed by MBDA; it is identical to the British 'Storm Shadow' missile. Both are utilized by the Indian Air Force on platforms like the Rafale. Finally, the BrahMos missile is a world-renowned supersonic cruise missile developed through a joint venture between India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyeniya, established under the entity BrahMos Aerospace [1]. This collaboration represents a cornerstone of the Indo-Russian strategic partnership.
