Brahmos Supersonic Cruise Missile : News, Updates and Discussions

If LCA is to be exported to Bangladesh, SL, Phillipines or even ME countries then it needs Anti ship weapon capability and an indigenous option of brahmos-NG is best suited. It will give it unprecedented advantage over JFs or any other jet in the category.

A small jet with low RCS and capable of hitting ships at 250-300 km is always welcome.

Currently available sub sonic missiles with half the weight of NG can do the job. Customer don't care it's indian or not.

Countries like Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia do care if the weapon is halal(non Israeli) or not

There is no contemporary Israel Ashm. Market is shared mostly by Russian, French, American and new NSM.

Question is if it has to be indian or not. Not any other country specific.

Straits Times - reports primarily on East & SE Asian News
Philippines signs agreement with India for world's fastest supersonic missiles

The Star - Malaysian outlet primarily focused on Malaysia and SE Asian countries
Philippines signs pact with India for world's fastest supersonic missiles

Janes - I don't think this needs an explanation
Philippines, India line up BrahMos deal

Do you really wanna know what celebration and circle jerk is!!...go to the project azm thread on the green forum where people have premature ejaculations and cured erectly disfunctions just by the word "Azm" which doesn't have anything on paper yet.

India Signs 1st Export Deal For BrahMos Cruise Missiles With The Philippines ​



ByAakriti Sharma
March 3, 2021
The Philippines will be the first country to receive the Indian-made BrahMos cruise missile, considered the world’s fastest supersonic missile.
The two countries have signed an agreement for a potential supply of the weapon, which would boost the Philippines’ coastal defense, according to reports.

Jointly developed by India and Russia, the BrahMos is a medium-range supersonic (faster than the speed of sound) missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, fighter jets, or land.
The Straits Times has reported that Philippine Defence Undersecretary Raymund Elefante and Indian Ambassador Shambu Kumaran on Tuesday signed an implementing agreement at Camp Aguinaldo, headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The Asian country will be procuring defense material and equipment from India.
Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana was quoted by The Straits Times as saying: “We are buying the BrahMos missiles”. He did not reveal any further details of the procurement.
The agreement has been described by the defense secretary as a guide for the Philippines and India on “policies and procedures in the defense procurement” and will also serve as a “legal framework for the procurement under the government-to-government modality”.
Ambassador Kumaran and BrahMos Aerospace chief executive and managing director Sudhir Mishra had met the Philippine Army and Philippine Marines officials on separate occasions in January this year.
BrahMos supersonic cruise missile is a product of a consortium of Indian and Russian industries. They have been designed, developed, and produced by BrahMos Aerospace, a joint venture company set up by India’s state-owned Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Mashinostroyenia of Russia.
The name BrahMos represents “the fury” of India’s Brahmaputra river and “the grace” of the Russian river Moskva.


The earliest versions of the supersonic cruise missiles have been in service with the Indian Navy and the Indian Army since 2005 and 2007 respectively. Known as the stand-off range weapons, these types of the missile are fired from a range sufficient to allow the attacker to evade defensive fire from the adversary.
Last year, India had tested an extended range of around 400 kilometers, as compared to its initial range of 290 kilometers, with more versions of higher ranges above 1,000 kilometers currently under development.
Since the missile system can be used as both coastal defense and ground attack, it would provide the Philippine military firepower in the face of threats from Chinese aggression in the South China Sea.
The Philippines has been at the receiving end of China’s expansionist plans in the South China Sea. It has recently expressed concerns over China’s new Coast Guard law, which allows the Chinese agency to open fire at foreign vessels at the slightest suspicion.
The latest agreement on the BrahMos missile marks the strengthening of strategic ties between India and the Philippines under the Modi government’s Act East Policy. Don McLain Gill, an international affairs researcher, has suggested Manila may use this partnership to get out of China’s increasing influence in the region.


“China has significantly increased its military capabilities and coercive measures in Southeast Asia, particularly in the disputed South China Sea where Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines also have territorial claims.
China’s expansive claims coupled with its growing assertion and disdain for a rules-based order leave little room for negotiation between it and the other claimants,” he writes for Observer Research Foundation (ORF).
At the same time, the current deal marks India’s increasing defense footprint in the Indo-Pacific. New Delhi had earlier extended a $100-million defense-related line of credit to Manila. The Economic Times has reported that the arrangement was concluded following a foreign ministers-level meet in November 2020.
The two sides had agreed to implement the arrangement through “military training and education, capacity building, regular goodwill visits and procurement of defense equipment”.
The strategic ties have been growing since 2018 when a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on defense and logistics was signed. Another MoU on sharing white shipping information—non-military/non-government shipping vessel information—was inked in 2020.

We should wait till until the first delivery is made before celebrating. This is just an agreement, remember there is a lot of slip between the cup & lip. It would have been great if we had kept this as secret instead of making it public.

Seriously, that particular thread has produced enough documentation worth of design of two aircrafts without a single plane flying or HECK a single confirmed fact. I mean, for all its stupidity and faults our damn Tejas still flies, unlike a certain Azm. May be Pakistan should rename Azm to Bazm (بزم) for what it does for Pakistani crowd. @safriz will agree.

Don’t forget to add "testing of Gripen”, “knowledge of RAFAEL from brother Qatar” and long list of similar funny claims.
Riyasat e Poodena is funny place. And that explains why they get High ranking in what is called “Happiness Index” 😀

Posting a news doesn't equate to celebrating. Secondly, it wasn't an Indian media outlet which published the news but they were South East Asian outlets along with Janes

As if all pakistanis are trying to fall in love with we indians.
And FYI, i have recognised your ability to field weapons before giving any order ( Truth hurts, so i unilaterally withdrawing the word begging )

And congratulations for fielding j10,su35,T90 with Pakistan military before placing any order.

Seriously boy what are you blabbering about?
Indian ministers have issued statements about S-400 and how it will banish Pakistan air force from Pakistan, years before purchasing S-400.
Can you quote any such statements from Pakistan regarding J-10?

We will have s400, its just a matter of months. We have order it, and we are going to deploy it. In indian & rest of the world are working like that. They will think about ordering a military gear, followed by placing the order and deployment. Only you will see this as an unusual practice.

Wait, what?
Again, no idea what you are on about.
Just to clarify, my original comment was about red tape ism, vested interests of certain parties involved, which are in conflict with national interests, and cause delays in such procurements.
Happens on both sides of the border.
More sp in India.
I vet you a fiver, Nirbhay won't be deployed until Brahmos corporation sells nearly 2000 Missiles to the Indian armed forces, because of financial interests of Certain rich and powerful businesses men of India.

Errr... both serve two different needs. Nirbhay is in direct competition with likes of Klub missile. Actually, FYI, Brahmos missile is produced by a DPSU, so rich and powerful will try their best to derail it and sell something more expensive and much less effective.

Meet AGM-158C AGM-158C LRASM. Range about 500 KM ( same as Brahmos ). It costs 3 million dollars to US military. To our military it will cost much more than that. And not a single penny of that will flow into Indian defence companies.

We will take Brahmos for our anti ship role and anti high value land targets, thank you! We control most of the aspects of Brahmos. Airframe, seeker, engine etc. We were able to convert it into air launched missile without paying through the nose to Russia.

Good luck trying to do that with American missile.
