India is set to deliver the first batch of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles and launchers to the Philippines on Friday, marking a significant development in the defense ties between the two nations. The deal, signed two years ago, is valued at almost $375 million and aims to equip the Philippine Marines with three batteries of these advanced missiles. This export agreement demonstrates India’s growing prowess in the defense manufacturing sector and its commitment to boosting military exports. The delivery was delayed due to pending formalities between the two countries, but with the finalization of the non-disclosure agreement, the shipment is now ready to be transported via Indian aircraft to the Philippines. This milestone underscores India’s increasing role as a key defense exporter and its efforts to enhance indigenous defense capabilities. With a target of ₹35,000 crore in defense exports by 2024-25, India is poised to further strengthen its position as a reliable supplier of cutting-edge defense equipment globally.
