A Philippine geopolitical watcher, who follows the country's defence establishment closely, has posted pictures of the mobile launchers of the BrahMos missile, which Manila has been receiving from India as part of a $375 million deal with the South Asian sovereign state.
"This would be what the Philippine Marine Corps BrahMos Supersonic Anti-ship Missile's Mobile Autonomous Launcher would look like. It can launch BrahMos Missile in single, or salvo mode," the defence watcher, who goes by the name of Eyorio, wrote on Twitter on Thursday, along with snaps of the launcher.
Notably, India has already delivered three units of the BrahMos anti-ship missiles to the archipelago. The last of those three were sent to the Philippines last month. Two more batteries of the widely acclaimed supersonic missile are to be transported to the Southeast Asian country in the upcoming months.
Interestingly, the credentials of the BrahMos have received a booster shot in the form of India's counter-terror mission, Operation Sindoor, in Pakistan.
Apparently, the BrahMos was used to inflict heavy damage on Pakistani military installations, airbases, and radar sites included. Subsequently, satellite imagery confirmed the destruction to aircraft hangars and runways, with deep craters quite visible in the pictures.
