Philippines Plans Major Purchase of Indian BrahMos Missiles

The Philippines is moving forward with plans to acquire nearly 60 additional BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles from India, in a deal potentially worth $700-800 million.

Background

The Philippines and China have a long-standing territorial dispute in the South China Sea, a vital waterway for global trade. China claims sovereignty over nearly the entire sea, overlapping with claims from the Philippines and other nations. This has led to increased tensions and a military buildup in the region.
