BrahMos cruise missiles
2022
Rajat Pandit, January 28, 2022: The Times of India
New Delhi: India on Friday inked the $375 million (Rs 2,770 crore) contract to export BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines, which will pave the way for more such deals with the country as well as other Asean countries like Indonesia and Vietnam.
This first-ever contract to export the 290-km range missiles, which has been developed jointly with Russia, is strategically significant in the backdrop of China’s strong-arm tactics with its neighbours like Philippines in the South China Sea as well as an important milestone in India’s quest to become a major arms exporter.
The contract, under which three missile batteries of the shore based anti-ship version will be delivered within two years, was inked by Philippines secretary of national defence Delfin Lorenzana and BrahMos Aerospace chief Atul D Rane. “Today marks a decisive step forward for PM Modi’s SAGAR (policy) and India’s IndoPacific engagement…We are one step closer to elevating ties between our democracies to a strategic partnership and our shared objective of a free and peaceful Indo-Pacific,” said Indian ambassador to Philippines Shambhu Kumaran.
Lorenzana said BrahMos as the world’s fastest cruise missile will provide deterrence against any attempt to undermine his country’s sovereignty and rights, especially in West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).
While this contract is for the Philippines Navy, India is negotiating another bigger contract with the country’s Army as well. Similarly, talks for exporting the air-breathing BrahMos missiles to Indonesia are also in an advanced stage, as was reported earlier by TOI.
UAE, Saudi Arabia and South Africa are among other countries that have shown an interest in acquiring the BrahMos missiles. India also plans to sell the indigenous Akash missile systems to Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kenya and Algeria.
