India Missiles and Guided Munitions

[Lonewolf]

No

Quite a decent sized order given each missile costs around $2.5mn...

@Gessler any idea how much does the launcher cost since Philippines are acquiring shore launched systems

Not just launcher , other equipment are also included

Although Philippines is not a MTCR signatory ,but may get a higher range version secretly

The report has also been officially confirmed and posted by Sec. Delfin Lorenzana on his facebook. Deal includes delivery of three batteries, training for operators and maintainers as well as the necessary Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) package with an unspecified number of missiles

There is a good chance Philippines Army might also order two batteries of Brahmos

"For the record, the Philippines have shown interest in the purchase of the BrahMos since 2016. It was reported that negotiations were underway since 2019 regarding the procurement of two mobile batteries for the Philippine army under the Land-Based Missile System (LBMS) program. A mock-up of the Philippine army version of the launcher was shown. The missiles were fitted on a semi-trailer towed by a South Korean KIA KM500 truck. In addition, in the spring of 2020, there were reports of the Philippine Navy’s intention to purchase three batteries of the BrahMos system. However, in early December 2020, the Philippine government decided to postpone the plan, for financial reasons (linked to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic)."

Extended range BrahMos flight-tested

Launch conducted by Brahmos Aerospace in close coordination with DRDO teams

www.thehindu.com

There was some speculation on twitter about the range, nothing official other than its "extended" I guess.

But twitter noted the area of notice stretched out about 750 km, so maybe this is the 600 km version that was mentioned in 2016.

I guess we will see later.

The NOTAM is for 750km while TASS also reported the development of P800 Oniks ER version previously in 2019. An year before, HT reported that an 800km Brahmos will be tested. Unsure if that took place but TASS did report last year that Russia & India are working on the development of 800km Brahmos

It's 800 km version , with cold launch capabilities ,

The Strategic Logic Behind India’s Sale of BrahMos Missiles to the Philippines

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

Though our interactions were initially with PH Navy, their army was the one who was more vocal about their interest in Brahmos. I except a similar sized order from PH Army soon

The other ASEAN country in the pipeline is Vietnam
