Defense Updates has just uploaded a video about the first shipment of BrahMos AShMs arriving in the Phillipines:


In 2022, the Philippines reached a deal with India for the supply of BrahMos missile system.Manila’s order is a crucial move aimed at modernizing the country’s outdated military amid regional disputes with China.
The deal, valued at USD 375 million, marks India’s Defence Research and Development Organization or DRDO’s largest-ever defense contract with a foreign nation and the first-ever export for BrahMos. India delivered the first batch of BrahMos to the Philippines in mid-April.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how the Philippines is readying Indian-supplied BrahMos to counter China ?

No doubt the PRC is going to be publicly whinging and whining about these missiles along with veiled threats to the Phillipines while no doubt privately the PLA:N admiralty will be experiencing heartburn.

US Marines Help Philippine Armed Forces Develop Strike Plans for BrahMos Anti-Ship Missile​


"...U.S. and Philippine Marines are training how to defend Manila’s coastal waters through maritime strike rehearsals that simulate the use of recently acquired BrahMos anti-ship missiles, USNI News has learned.

According to images recently released by the Pentagon, the drills practiced the process of forming a kill chain using notional Armed Forces of the Philippines drones and ground-based anti-ship missiles against simulated maritime targets.

At Manila’s northernmost Marine base in Luzon on Aug. 25, American and Filipino planners plotted Air Force Hermes drones to track a surface action group in support of a BrahMos anti-ship missile strike. The simulated maritime targets were represented by two Type 052D-class guided-missile destroyers, a Type 054A-class frigate and a Type 901 fast combat support ship – vessels currently in service with China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy..."

My comment: Far as I know, the BrahMos & its ground control stations have fully MIL-STD electronics architecture. Not surprising that it can readily integrate targeting inputs from US/Israeli/NATO ISR platforms. However, when using specific datalinks/SDRs that India does not use (like Link-16), the customer may have to furnish that equipment themselves but once that's done, integrating it into the system shouldn't be a problem IMO.
