India has completed the delivery of the third and final batch of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile batteries to the Philippines, fulfilling a $375 million defense agreement signed in January 2022. The first shipment arrived in April 2024, the second in April 2025, and this final consignment marks the full operational capability of the Philippine Navy’s coastal defense units. The BrahMos missiles, capable of speeds up to Mach 3 and a range of 290 km, provide a critical deterrent amid ongoing maritime tensions in the South China Sea, particularly against Chinese assertiveness. This delivery enhances the Philippines’ defense posture and strengthens India-Philippines defense ties, reinforcing India’s strategic “Act East” policy and its role as a security provider in the Indo-Pacific. The deal also signals India’s growing footprint in the global defense exports market and Indo-Pacific security architecture. Key dates: contract January 2022, deliveries April 2024, April 2025, final batch late 2025.
