Friday was a very important day for India’s defense sector. The first shipment of Indian-made BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles has arrived in the Philippines. The missile was supplied to the Philippines under an agreement. A deal worth $375 million (about 31.26 billion rupees) was signed between the two countries for this weapon system in 2022.
