India and the Philippines are expected to sign a $374.9 million deal in the last week of January 2022 for the supply of ‘Brahmos Shore-based Supersonic Cruise Missile System’.
The deal will be signed as part of the Philippines’ plan to bolster its defense amid a regional conflict with China.
The deal will cover an unspecified number of missiles and launchers, payment schedules, spare parts and delivery and training programs.
Earlier, the National Defense Department of the Philippines published a ‘Notice of Award’ asking BrahMos to sign the contract. This means that the Philippines has accepted the Indian offer and now wants to sign the contract.
An Indian delegation is scheduled to visit Manila to sign the deal. The deal will mark the first export order for the BrahMos cruise missile, which has a range of 290 km.
The deal is for a shore-based version of the anti-ship missile system.
It has helped enhance the defense capability of the Philippines in the backdrop of increasing Chinese aggression.
