INDONESIA TO BE 2ND NATION TO BUY WEAPON SYSTEM FROM INDIA India, Indonesia inch closer to BrahMos missile deal
Financial Express Bengaluru
|November 28, 2025
INDIA AND INDONESIA Thursday discussed the finer details related to BrahMos supersonic cruise missile procurement, during the third India-Indonesia Defence Ministers' Dialogue co-chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his Indonesian counterpart Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin. This marks further progress towards the sale of the weapon system to Jakarta.
As both sides reaffirmed longstanding strategic partnership and deepening bilateral defence cooperation, Singh also gifted a model of the missile to Sjamsoeddin.
If the BrahMos deal goes through, Indonesia will be the second country to procure the weapon system from India, after the Philippines which has procured three batteries of the weapon system in 2022. The missiles procured by the Philippines have a range of around 290 km. New Delhi has been in talks with Jakarta over the sale of the missile system, made under a joint venture between the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyeniya.
