According to a press release published by Philippine News Agency on March 10, 2021, the medium-range ramjet supersonic BrahMos cruise missile system is the ideal weapon for the planned shore-based anti-ship missile project of the Philippine Navy (PN), its chief said.
Bacordo said the project is being pursued as part of the Navy’s requirements for a credible defense posture as envisioned in its ongoing modernization program.
When asked how many BrahMos batteries the country would procure, he answered only one would be acquired.
A missile battery typically consists of three mobile autonomous launchers with two or three missile tubes each, along with the tracking systems.
