MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): The Philippines and India have signed an agreement for a potential supply of BrahMos cruise missiles, a product of collaboration by India and Russia, which the Philippine government hopes would boost coastal defence.
Philippine Defence Undersecretary Raymund Elefante and Indian Ambassador Shambu Kumaran signed an implementing agreement on Tuesday (March 2) at Camp Aguinaldo, headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, according to the Philippine Department of National Defence on Facebook.

The agreement involved the procurement of defence material and equipment by the Philippines from India, an emerging superpower rival of China in Asia.
"We are buying the BrahMos missiles," said Philippine Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, who witnessed the signing ceremony.

He did not provide details of the procurement plan yet.
BrahMos are medium-range supersonic (faster than the speed of sound) missiles that can be launched from submarines, ships, planes or land. It is considered to be the fastest supersonic missile in the world.
Lorenzana said the agreement served as guide for the Philippines and India on "policies and procedures in the defence procurement".
It also served as a "legal framework for the procurement under the government-to-government modality", Lorenzana added.
The missile system, which can be used for coastal defence and ground attack, would boost Philippine military firepower in the face of threats to its maritime territory, coming mainly from Chinese aggression in the South China Sea.
Plans to procure the system stalled last year due to budgetary constraints caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Hindustan Times reported last year that India has offered a US$100 million line of credit to the Philippines for the weapons system purchase, but a government source privy to the deal said it could be more.
In separate occasions in January this year, Ambassador Kumaran and BrahMos Aerospace chief executive and managing director Sudhir Mishra visited the Philippine Army and Philippine Marines, the potential users of the BrahMos missiles. - Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network

When is the Supa Powa delivering the Brahmos to Vietnam?

Do the daft Indians really think Russia will allow sale of Brahmos to countries that threaten it's strategic ally China?
When Russia sells to India which is the biggest strategic rival to China in Asia, why would it then object to sell to other strategic rivals.
Russia will sell to anyone for money, unless they are direct Russian adversaries.
 
BrahMos is superior to Kh-35U carried on Chinese Su-35S. Better range 290 km compared to 260 km and supersonic compared to subsonic.
 
Hahahaah. You lost me at emerging superpower rival to china:lol:

Indian disinfomation labs are batshit crazy at this point. Shameless Indians spamming the internet with garbage fairytale like disinformation material


Except that It's a Malaysian newspaper calling India a rival to China.
The other source is Philippine

Nuts. This is a 90tech missile that flies fast but high and straight. Easily can be shot down. There is a reason why Russia won’t even induct Brahmos. As it’s a piece of sh*t.

Not by how you try to get out of everything i.e by lying. So how many jf-17s has Pakistan lost till now mate? What did you claim, was it 5 or 6?
I'm not going to answer anything because I'm not really sure as how to counter these things but i can certainly tell you than the pindi boys do know. Remember an s400 was seen in Pakistan when china came for an exercise?.
2. Carrier, big and bulky easy target. Do you know why in wars you always try to hide your carriers?.
3. All the things you mentioned above, how many are inducted?. Do fly too high mate, you'll fall on your face. Cheers!!
