India signed a USD 375 million deal with which nation for the supply of BrahMos missiles?
A)
Brazil
B)
Germany
C)
Indonesia
D)
Philippines

Correct Answer : Option (D) - Philippines



India's BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited (BAPL) signed a contract with the Department of National Defence of the Republic of Philippines on Friday(28th Jan 2022) for the supply of Shore Based Anti-Ship Missile System to the Philippines, the Ministry of Defence said.
 
The BAPL is a joint venture company of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
 
"The contract is an important step forward for the Government of India's policy of promoting responsible defence exports," the Ministry added.
 
The Indian team of BrahMos Aerospace in India, led by BrahMos CEO Atul D Rane, Deputy CEO Sanjeev Joshi, Lt Col R Negi, and Praveen Pathak, was present at the signing of the deal.
 
These missiles are meant for the Philippines Navy.
 
Earlier this month, the Philippines accepted BAPL's proposal worth USD 374.9 million to supply Shore-Based Anti-Ship Missile systems for the Philippines Navy.
 
DRDO and BAPL together have been pushing hard for exports of this missile to friendly foreign countries for the last few months.
 
The BrahMos export order would be the biggest for the country in this field and is likely to propel India amongst arms exporting countries as more orders for the missile are expected from other friendly countries..
