Indonesia to get BrahMos missiles, awaiting Russia's final nod
India and Indonesia are about to seal a $450 million deal for BrahMos supersonic missiles—just waiting on a final nod from Russia.
This follows years of back-and-forth, plus some big visits between leaders.
If it goes through, Indonesia will be the second ASEAN country after the Philippines to get these high-speed missiles, marking a major step up in their defense partnership.
Arms deal part of India's push to become top defense exporter
This isn't just another arms deal—it's part of India's bigger push to become a top defense exporter under its Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) plan.
The BrahMos has already caught attention worldwide thanks to its recent success in conflicts, with countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and even Saudi Arabia showing interest.
It's proof that "Make in India" is starting to make waves globally.
