The ripple of water as a stone breaks the surface. That's the impact of the Brahmos missile system, a force to be reckoned with. By the end of this month, the Philippines is set to receive its first wave delivery of this formidable weapon, straight from India. A testament to the power of collaboration, the Brahmos is a product of Indo-Russian ingenuity. Its name, a fusion of India's Brahmaputra River and Russia's Moskva River, symbolizes the unity of purpose behind its creation, with a top speed exceeding Mach 3, it's one of the fastest cruise missiles currently in operation, bringing a new level of defense capabilities to the Philippines against the roaring panda. So, as the month draws to a close, the ripples continue to spread, heralding a new era in the India Philippine partnership with the arrival of the Brahmos.
