India Likely To Deliver First Batch Of Brahmos Missiles To Philippines Today

India is set to deliver the first batch of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines on Friday, over two years after inking a USD 375 million deal to supply the weapon systems with the Southeast Asian country, people familiar with the matter said.

A military transport aircraft of the Indian Air Force is likely to transport the missile and the launchers to the Philippines for delivering them to the country's marine forces, they said.

In January 2022, India sealed the deal with the Philippines for supplying three batteries of the missile.
