BrahMos Missile Gains Global Traction with Indonesia, Vietnam, and UAE in Talks for Acquisition

The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, a joint venture between India and Russia, is attracting increasing international attention. Alexander Maksichev, Co-Director of BrahMos Aerospace, revealed in a statement to Russian news agency TASS that discussions are underway with Indonesia, Vietnam, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) regarding potential contracts for this advanced missile system.

Maksichev highlighted the growing appeal of the BrahMos missile in the global defence market, noting that these nations are at the forefront of discussions for its acquisition. While he refrained from disclosing specific details about the ongoing negotiations, the expressions of interest from these countries signify a significant step towards expanding the missile's international presence.

Renowned for its speed and precision, the BrahMos missile is a formidable addition to any military arsenal. Already operational within the Indian Armed Forces, the missile system has successfully gained traction beyond India's borders. The Philippines became the first foreign customer for the BrahMos, finalizing a US$375 million contract in January 2022 for three batteries of the shore-based anti-ship variant. The first batch of these missiles was delivered earlier this year.

This successful acquisition by the Philippines not only demonstrates the effectiveness of the BrahMos system but also sets a precedent for future exports. As countries increasingly seek advanced defence technologies to bolster their capabilities, the interest from Indonesia, Vietnam, and the UAE signals that BrahMos Aerospace is well-positioned to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving global security landscape.

As BrahMos Aerospace continues to expand its global footprint, it is poised to play a key role in the future of international defence cooperation and regional security. The BrahMos missile's increasing popularity serves as a testament to its capabilities and underscores the growing significance of strategic partnerships in the realm of defence technology.

India developed one of the most advanced missile with Russia and with the fast speed, manuverabiliy, low altitude and precision it makes it one of the most deadliest and difficult missiles to intercept.

We should certainly manufacture more and sell them to countries in south east Asia or countries that are always at war. But we need to be careful and sell a much inferior version or an older version of the missile that isn’t the best model that we currently use.
