BrahMos

In addition to supporting the modernization of the Indonesian Navy, the possible BrahMos deal could also open a new era of cooperation between the two nations.

Indonesian President Prabowo will be the chief guest at India’s Republic Day parade, a sign of the importance New Delhi accords its relations with Jakarta.

Manila is seeking to take a major step forward in the modernization of its armed forces, but current economic conditions are challenging.

The new range will bring distant targets within range of the BrahMos, as well as enhance Indian precision strike capabilities.

Should it eventuate, the deal would see New Delhi consolidate its position as the region's second partner of choice for supersonic missile purchases, after Russia.

The strategic aspects of the BrahMos sale and India’s assistance to Southeast Asian countries should not be minimized.

The long-expected acquisition marks the latest evolution of Southeast Asia's naval arms competition.

The acquisition would equip the Armed Forces of the Philippines with a potent deterrent against Chinese adventurism in the South China Sea.

The fighter jets of the new squadron are expected to be armed with the air-launched version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile.

Brahmos missiles were reportedly test fired from a Su-30 MIK fighter and a land-based mobile launcher.

While specifics remain unclear, the chatter has put the emphasis on a development that could be significant for the bilateral relationship.

The Indian government has reportedly decided to fast-track the integration of BrahMos missiles into Su-30MKI fighter jets.

An anti-ship variant of the Brahmos supersonic cruise missile was test launched earlier this week.

The reportedly successful test launch took place on May 22.

The BrahMos missile is likely to be test launched from an Indian Air Force Su-30MKI aircraft this week.

The air-launched variant of the BrahMos missile is expected to enter service with the Indian Air Force in 2020.

Jakarta has expressed serious interest in the capable supersonic cruise missile.

Despite growing strategic convergence, New Delhi should also be mindful of some of the limitations in the relationship.

The supersonic cruise missile was tested as part of the service life extension program for the Indian Army.

New Delhi has to consider its deterrence requirements and perceptions in Beijing and Islamabad.

Indian defense contractor Larsen & Toubro has opened up a new production line to support the BrahMos Supersonic missile.

The second BrahMos test launch in 24 hours reportedly tested new indigenous components of the missile.

The missile launch reportedly tested new indigenous technologies developed to extend the BrahMos’ service life by five years.

India last test fired an extended-range BrahMos in March 2017.
