Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio on Thursday suggested using BrahMos supersonic missiles to increase the Philippines’ defense posture in the West Philippine Sea (WPS).
Countering China’s expansive claims in the WPS is only possible through resubmitting the Philippine government’s position to another arbitration, after its 2016 landmark win. But as for the military side, Caprio sees the use of the missile for a more effective and precise control of the disputed waters.
