Philippine Forces Seek India's Pralay Missile to Enhance Defense
The Philippine Armed Forces are interested in India’s Pralay tactical ballistic missile to enhance their defense capabilities, complementing their recent acquisition of the BrahMos missile. The Pralay missile, developed by DRDO, boasts a range of 150-500 kilometers and advanced precision capabilities, making it suitable for countering land threats. As India seeks to finalize exports to Armenia and potentially the Philippines, this reflects India’s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific and strengthens defense ties in response to regional security challenges, including China’s assertiveness. The Pralay’s strategic benefits highlight India’s commitment to bolstering regional allies’ defense postures while advancing its own defense industry on the global stage.
