India on Friday delivered the first shipment of the BrahMos missile to China’s neighboring country, the Philippines. The Philippines will deploy it in the South China Sea, which has increased China’s concern. The Philippines continues to dispute Sparkly Island in the South China Sea.
China continues to threaten the neighboring small island states because these countries are not militarily strong. In such a situation, China is more concerned about the fact that with the acquisition of BrahMos, the power of the Philippines will be greatly increased.
In January 2022, the Philippines signed a deal worth 2,966 million rupees with India to purchase the BrahMos missile. Apart from India and Russia, the Philippines is the first country in the world to receive the BrahMos missile. BrahMos was delivered by Air Force C-17 Globemaster aircraft. This Air Force plane arrived in Manila, the capital of the Philippines on Friday morning. Three systems of BrahMos have been delivered. Each system has two missile launchers, a radar and a command and control center.
