Indonesia wants to buy BrahMos missiles from India
Indonesia is looking to buy BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles from India, marking a big step in their defense partnership.
India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh shared the news this week.
Earlier reports indicated that the deal could include a significant line of credit to help make it happen.
What's next?
Indonesia's Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin is heading to India from November 26-28 to talk details—not just about the missile deal, but also other ways the two countries can team up on defense.
This comes right after India kicked off production of BrahMos missiles at a new factory in Lucknow and reopened talks that had stalled earlier over budget issues.
Both countries already train together regularly, so this could take their military ties up a notch.
