MANILA: The Philippines is set to receive its second batch of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles from India, its defence secretary said on Wednesday (April 23), which should bolster the country's coastal defence capabilities amid escalating tensions with China.
The expected arrival of the missile system will be the second of three BrahMos missile batteries Manila agreed to purchase under a 2022 deal with Brahmos Aerospace worth US$375 million. The first batch arrived in April 2024.
