India Delivers Advanced Brahmos Missiles to the Philippines, Strengthening Defense Partnership

India has bolstered the Philippines' defense capabilities by successfully delivering the first shipment of advanced BrahMos cruise missiles. The delivery, which included shipments via Indian Air Force and civilian aircraft, is a significant step in the growing defense cooperation between the two nations.

The delivery to Clark Airbase in the Philippines marks the initial stage of a $375 million deal signed in 2022 for India to supply the Philippines with three BrahMos missile batteries in total. Known for their speed and accuracy, the BrahMos missiles significantly augment the Philippine Marine Corps' defensive firepower, granting them a powerful deterrent against potential threats.

This India-Philippines defense collaboration, highlighted by the BrahMos deal, plays a role in maintaining regional security within the Indo-Pacific. The partnership signals India's commitment to working with Southeast Asian nations to ensure stability in the region.

Looks like the situation in Philippines vs Chinese maritime dispute is serious.... US delivered a Typhon Missile System to Philippines that is capable of hitting China mainland.... We should sell more weapons to Philippines and establish a Indian subsidiary or r&d in ASEAN REGION.... War is looming already.... Hopefully US government won't make Philippines as the next Ukraine 😹😹😹
