India set to export BrahMos missiles to Philippines: Modi

Saturday, 20 April 2024 | Staff Reporter | BHOPAL

During his election rally in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that India is set to export BrahMos missiles to the Philippines. He said, "Now we are also exporting BrahMos missiles. The first batch of this missile is going to the Philippines today. I congratulate all my countrymen on this." India is set to deliver the first batch of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines on Friday. This comes two years after inking a $375 million deal to supply the weapon systems with the Southeast Asian country. India on April 19 delivered BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines. The two countries had signed a deal worth $375 million in 2022. An Indian Air Force's C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft landed at Clark Airbase in the Philippines today morning with the first batch of Made-in-India BrahMos missiles.

In January 2022, India sealed a deal with the Philippines to supply three batteries of the missile. This was the first export of the BrahMos missile by India. A few other countries including Argentina have also shown interest in procuring BrahMos missiles from India. BrahMos Aerospace Pvt Ltd, an India-Russian joint venture, produces supersonic cruise missiles that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or land platforms. BrahMos missile flies at a speed of 2.8 Mach or almost three times the speed of sound.

Modi today addressed a huge public meeting organized in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh on Friday and appealed to the people of Madhya Pradesh to vote with a huge majority in every seat of the state this time. State BJP President and Khajuraho Lok Sabha candidate Mr. Vishnu Dutt Sharma and Damoh Lok Sabha candidate Mr. Rahul Lodhi and other senior leaders were present on the stage in the program.

Modi underlined the important achievements of the BJP government in the last 10 years and once again formed the Bharatiya Janata Party government with a huge majority in the country and fiercely targeted the Indian alliance and the Congress, accusing them of being anti-Sanatan and corrupt.

The Prime Minister said that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections are not just to elect MPs, but to ensure the future of the country's future generations. This election is to make India a big power in the world in the coming 5 years.

When there is an atmosphere of war in the world, it is necessary to have a strong government in India working on a war footing. Only the Bharatiya Janata Party government with absolute majority can do this work.

In the last 10 years, the country has seen that a stable government can work efficiently even in adverse circumstances. There was an outcry in the whole world during the Corona period, but the strong BJP government of the country brought Indians back to the country safely from all over the world. The BJP government provided free ration to crores of Indians and also administered vaccine doses to protect against Corona.

Today there is such a strong and stable government in the country, which neither fears anyone nor bows down before anyone. Bharatiya Janata Party, working on the principle of Nation First, has taken many important decisions in the interest of the country.
