Philippine Marines Get Powerful BrahMos Missiles to Counter CHINA's Aggression

Описание: On November 7, 2025, the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) officially unveiled its first BrahMos supersonic anti-ship missile battery, marking a historic leap in the nation’s defense modernization and signaling a decisive shift toward credible external defense. The BrahMos, jointly developed by India and Russia, is one of the world’s fastest and most lethal cruise missiles—capable of striking targets up to 290 kilometers away at speeds nearing Mach 3—and now forms the backbone of Manila’s emerging anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) strategy. Valued at $375 million, the system provides the Philippines with long-range precision strike capability and reinforces its commitment to the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept (CADC), which emphasizes deterrence-by-denial and dynamic coastal defense. Deployed in Zambales, near the contested Scarborough Shoal, the missile battery gives the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) its first credible land-based means to project firepower across the West Philippine Sea, deterring potential incursions and securing vital sea lines of communication. This milestone, achieved under the Re-Horizon 3 Modernization Program (2023–2028) and aligned with the Philippine Marine Corps’ Beachhead Vision 2040, represents far more than a technological acquisition—it is a strategic declaration of sovereignty, resolve, and preparedness. By integrating BrahMos into its defense architecture, the Philippines not only enhances its maritime deterrence and joint interoperability with allies such as the U.S. and Japan but also strengthens its partnership with India, diversifying its defense ties amid a shifting Indo-Pacific balance of power. Ultimately, the unveiling of the BrahMos battery signals a new era in Philippine defense—one defined by precision, deterrence, and the unwavering intent to defend its archipelagic frontier against any threat.
