BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited (BAPL), the Indo-Russian manufacturer of cruise missiles is presenting its offering for use on air, land and sea at the ongoing DSA.
BAPL officials say they are confident of not only of meeting Malaysian armed forces requirements but also those of other countries in the region. They also point out to the integration and operationalisation of the Brahmos Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) on Indian Air Force (IAF) Sukhoi SU-30 MKI fighter jets. The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) operates the SU-30 MKM and there are other SU-30 operators in the region. The 2.5 tonne BrahMos ALCM can only be carried on the SU-30. Also now in development is the lighter BrahMos-NG (Next Generation) missile, which can be carried on light fighters, in addition to aircraft such as the SU-30 MKI.
The company is now on a high, following the successful start to deliveries of its first ever export order. In April, the Philippine Armed Forces (PAF) took delivery of their first India-made BrahMos land-based anti-ship missile system at Clark Air Base. Transported from India aboard an IAF C-17 Globemaster III military airlift aircraft, the missile system was part of three BrahMos batteries ordered by the Southeast Asian nation in January 2022. The USD375 million contract also established the Philippines as the first foreign customer of the joint India-Russia missile project, designed to strike naval targets with speeds up to Mach 3.
The BrahMos is benefiting from sizeable Indian orders for the supersonic cruise missile. In March it received contract worth over US$2 billion from India’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) for missiles that will be used to meet combat outfit and training requirements of Indian Navy. The Navy will also receive shipborne BrahMos missiles under a recent deal worth over US$100 million. The BrahMos missile system is the Indian Navy’s primary weapon for maritime strike operations fitted onboard various frontline warships. It is capable of hitting land or sea targets from extended ranges with pinpoint accuracy at supersonic speeds.
In March last year, the Indian MoD awarded BAPL with a contract for procurement of Next Generation Maritime Mobile Coastal Batteries (Long range) {NGMMCB (LR)} and BrahMos missiles worth over US$200 million. The delivery of NGMMCBs is scheduled to commence from 2027. BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited is a joint venture between India’s Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyeniya (NPOM.
