BrahMos Aerospace CEO and MD Jaiteerth R. Joshi has revealed that the BrahMos missile continues to expand its global footprint, as several Southeast Asian countries have shown interest in the weapon system.

Joshi said the company has supplied BrahMos missiles to the Philippines and signed an agreement with Vietnam.

Talks with the interested countries are at an advanced stage, he said. "Once the government clears it, we will have a deal with them," he told reporters in Hyderabad, while responding to a question on which countries had finalised deals and with which others talks were under way.

It is to be noted that there has been a surge in the demand for 'fire and forget' missiles post Operation Sindoor against Pakistan.

BrahMos, with a flight range of up to 290 km with supersonic speed all through the flight, is India’s first full-scale weapon to receive a export contract from the  Philippines for the procurement of shore-based anti-ship missile system.

A few days ago, a Reuters report said the Philippines is expected to buy nearly 60 BrahMos missiles from India, which is about five systems, under a $800 million fresh deal. "Manila has shown interest again to procure about five systems of the BrahMos and they now view India as a very reliable partner," the news agency had quoted a defence source as saying.

Joshi said Operation Sindoor had not been anticipated, and that non-destructive testing (NDT) had ensured the missiles' reliability.

"NDT plays a vital role for any product. Operation Sindoor was never anticipated. The missiles were made 10, 15, 20 years back. NDT has ensured their reliability. The moment we took the item and fired, it went and delivered," he said.
