India-Russia BrahMos Missile Fourth Battery to Be Dispatched to Philippines: Media
India has provided three BrahMos missile batteries to the Philippines, with a fourth currently on its way to Manila under a $375 million agreement signed by the two allies in 2022.
India is poised to deliver the fourth battery of land-based BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines on Tuesday.

Building BrahMos: India, Russia Collaboration in Missile Development
In the early 1990s, India recognized the necessity for cruise missiles 0151 prompted by their prominent role in the 1991 Gulf War.
This led to an
Inter-Governmental Agreement signed in Moscow in 1998 between India and Russia, represented by Dr. Kalam and N. V. Mikhailov respectively.
BrahMos Aerospace was later established as a joint venture between DRDO and the Russian company NPO Mashinostroyeniya, with the Indian side holding a majority stake of 51 percent.
The venture, named after the
Brahmaputra and Moskva rivers of India and Russia, began missile development in 1999 with funding from both governments. The first successful test occurred in 2001, conducted from a specially designed land-based launcher.
