"The second battery of the missile has been sent in a ship this time," a defence source said, confirming the development. "The first battery was sent in April 2024 in an IAF aircraft, with support coming from civil aircraft agencies. The long-haul flight carrying the heavy load was a non-stop six-hour journey before the equipment reached the western parts of the Philippines," the source said.

The deal with the Philippines was announced in January 2022 for the supply of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, making it the country's first major defence export order.
