Vietnam finalizes BrahMos supersonic cruise missile purchase from India amid rising South China Sea tensions

[25 Apr, 2025]

According to India Today on April 17, 2024, India and Vietnam are close to finalizing a $700 million agreement for the transfer of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, a development that would represent a significant step in India’s defense export efforts and a substantial upgrade to Vietnam’s maritime and aerial defense capabilities. The contract is expected to be signed within the coming months. Vietnam will become the second country after the Philippines to operate the BrahMos system.

The missiles will be deployed by Vietnam’s air-launched platforms, notably Su-30 fighter jets, and by land-based coastal batteries, supporting Vietnam’s recent initiatives to modernize its defense forces. The acquisition is occurring amid ongoing maritime tensions in the South China Sea and broader regional security developments.
