WITH the expected delivery of the Indian-made BrahMos medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile systems within the year, the country’s capability to defend its coastline and territorial waters will get a much needed firepower boost.
Expected to operate the BrahMos cruise missile system is the Philippine Navy’s Marine Corps , which activated a shore-based anti-ship missile battalion on April 3, 2022. This unit is under the PMC’s Coastal Defense Regiment . “The induction of the BrahMos missile into the PMC will strengthen your maritime capability and will also contribute to our collective maritime security within the region. I sincerely hope that you’ll always cherish the bonds of friendship you had during your stay here,” Kumar said.
The training is a critical package included in the PN SBASM project contract signed by the Philippines and India in 2022. He added that the BrahMos cruise missile system would provide counter-attack capabilities within the Philippine exclusive economic zone. “As the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missiles, the BrahMos missiles will provide deterrence against any attempt to undermine our sovereignty and sovereign rights, especially in the West Philippine Sea,” Lorenzana said.
“Hence, the PA is yet to acquire said units since we are still on the 2nd Horizon wherein some of the programmed acquisitions are still in process,” PA spokesperson Col. Xerxes Trinidad said.
