India’s BrahMos supersonic cruise missile has secured new customers in Southeast Asia, expanding its maritime strike capability abroad. The BrahMos missile is produced through a joint venture between India and Russia. The export marks a key step in New Delhi’s push to broaden defense sales across the region.
Meanwhile, the Akash air‑defence system has been contracted to three nations—one in the Caucasus and two in Central Asia. The deals highlight India’s growing presence in regional air‑security markets.
These sales underscore India’s strategy to leverage indigenous weapon systems for diplomatic and economic outreach, while deepening ties with emerging defense partners.
