India's BrahMos supersonic missile is catching a lot of attention in Southeast Asia. The Philippines is already receiving the missile system, Vietnam is signing an agreement, and several other countries are close to deals too.
According to BrahMos Aerospace CEO and Managing Director Jaiteerth R Joshi, negotiations are going smoothly; they're just waiting for the green light from the government.
As he put it, "Once the government clears it, we will have a deal with them."
Jaiteerth R Joshi highlights BrahMos reliability
Interest in BrahMos really picked up after Operation Sindoor showed off how reliable these missiles are.
Joshi highlighted that regular non-destructive testing keeps them ready to go.
Built by India and Russia together, BrahMos is a two-stage supersonic cruise missile jointly developed by India's DRDO and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia, and its reliability has been proven after years-old missiles were fired, making it a pretty appealing option for countries looking to boost their defense game.
