India to Send BrahMos Missiles to Philippines in Landmark Defence Deal | Vantage with Palki Sharma

India is all set to deliver the first batch of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines on April 19. New Delhi had announced the over 370-million-dollar deal with Manila in January 2022, making it the country's first major defence export order. As per the deal, the Philippines will receive three missile batteries for the missile system, which has a range of 290 kilometres and can travel at three times the speed of sound. The Indian Air Force is spearheading the operation to transfer the heavy equipment, with help from civil aircraft agencies. This deal strengthens India’s position as a major defence exporter in the region.
