India sends second brahmoos anti ship missile battery to philippines amid rising indo pacific tensions China

Philippines deployed brahmos missile: The Philippines bought BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles from India to give a befitting reply amidst China’s increasing aggression in the South China Sea. In 2022, there was a defense deal of about 3131 crore between India and the Philippines, under which three missile batteries were to be supplied. The first battery was sent by Air Force aircraft in April 2024, while the second batch has now left by sea route.

In fact, these missiles have been deployed by the Philippines at important places under Strategy, so that any China attack can be immediately responded to and accurately.

Technical Power of India- BrahMos missile
According to the report up to India, the speed of BrahMos missile is 2.8 Mac, that is, it is almost three times faster than the speed of voice. It can penetrate the target up to 290 kilometers and can be launched by land, sea and air. BrahMos is a joint project of India and Russia, which has now become indigenous up to 83%. This missile is not only a weapon but a sign of India’s technical self -reliance and global strategic role. India is now emerging as a trusted defense partner not only for itself, but also for allies.

Why did the Philippines choose the Brahmastra of India?
The Philippines have a population of 11.46 crores and its area is about 996% smaller than India. Nevertheless, he has stood with India to face China’s military threats firmly. Troubled by the antics of China in the South China Sea, he took help from India and bought BrahMos. Now BrahMos has been deployed in Western Luzon, it is a strategic area from which China’s warship, drone and fighter jets can be directly targeted.

Let us know that in February 2023, 21 officials of the Navy of the Philippines took training in India. Now the Philippines have the ability of ripple attack, that is, can target many goals simultaneously. This has sent a clear message to China that the Philippines is no longer weak, but strategically ready.
