After Philippines, is Indonesia also going to buy supersonic cruise missile BrahMos from India? This question is because Defense Minister Rajnath has gifted a ‘replica’ of BrahMos missile to Indonesian Defense Minister Sjafri Sjamsoedin, who is visiting India.

Expressing praise after talks with Indonesian Defense Minister Sjamsoedin, Rajnath Singh said on Thursday (November 27, 2025), ‘Defense cooperation between India and Indonesia based on regional security has increased manifold in the last few years.’ The Defense Minister said, ‘During the discussions today, we had a free and frank discussion to further strengthen our defense cooperation and comprehensive strategic partnership.’

A deal worth Rs 3,877 crore is going to be made between India and Indonesia.

According to the information, India has agreed to give a loan to Indonesia from one of its own national banks for the BrahMos missile deal. It is believed that this deal for BrahMos missile with Indonesia is going to be worth about 450 million dollars (about Rs 3,877 crore).

With the help of Russia, India prepared BrahMos supersonic cruise missile in the country.

The world’s only supersonic cruise missile BrahMos has been developed indigenously by India with the help of Russia. BrahMos is India’s prime strike weapon, which is named by combining the names of India’s longest river Brahmaputra and Russia’s Moskva River. During Operation Sindoor, India successfully used the air-version of the BrahMos missile to destroy Pakistan’s airbase.

No radar in the world can intercept BrahMos.

It is believed that no radar, weapon or missile system in the world can intercept BrahMos, that is, once BrahMos is fired, no one can stop it like Brahmastra and it dies only after destroying its target.

Indonesia’s ongoing conflict with China over South China Sea

In the year 2023, India exported three batteries of anti-ship version of BrahMos missile to the Philippines. The value of this deal was around Rs 2,700 crore. Philippines has deployed these BrahMos missiles on its coast.

In fact, like the Philippines, Indonesia is also at loggerheads with China over the South China Sea. In such a situation, the BrahMos missile agreement with India holds significance. In the same year (2025), Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who came to Delhi as the chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations, also visited the office of BrahMos Aerospace Company.

All three armies of India use BrahMos missile.

BrahMos missile is one of the few weapons (missiles) of India, which are used by the Army, Air Force and Navy. BrahMos missile has also been integrated in the Air Force’s frontline aircraft, Sukhoi.

Army’s artillery also uses BrahMos missile. Naval warships have also been equipped with BrahMos. Due to which naval ships have become more lethal and are capable of targeting from sea to land.

Philippines deployed brahmos missile: The Philippines bought BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles from India to give a befitting reply amidst China’s increasing aggression in the South China Sea. In 2022, there was a defense deal of about 3131 crore between India and the Philippines, under which three missile batteries were to be supplied. The first battery was sent by Air Force aircraft in April 2024, while the second batch has now left by sea route.

In fact, these missiles have been deployed by the Philippines at important places under Strategy, so that any China attack can be immediately responded to and accurately.

Technical Power of India- BrahMos missile
According to the report up to India, the speed of BrahMos missile is 2.8 Mac, that is, it is almost three times faster than the speed of voice. It can penetrate the target up to 290 kilometers and can be launched by land, sea and air. BrahMos is a joint project of India and Russia, which has now become indigenous up to 83%. This missile is not only a weapon but a sign of India’s technical self -reliance and global strategic role. India is now emerging as a trusted defense partner not only for itself, but also for allies.

Why did the Philippines choose the Brahmastra of India?
The Philippines have a population of 11.46 crores and its area is about 996% smaller than India. Nevertheless, he has stood with India to face China’s military threats firmly. Troubled by the antics of China in the South China Sea, he took help from India and bought BrahMos. Now BrahMos has been deployed in Western Luzon, it is a strategic area from which China’s warship, drone and fighter jets can be directly targeted.

Let us know that in February 2023, 21 officials of the Navy of the Philippines took training in India. Now the Philippines have the ability of ripple attack, that is, can target many goals simultaneously. This has sent a clear message to China that the Philippines is no longer weak, but strategically ready.
