I wonder whether the Philippines is India's first Brahmos customer.

Philippines to order BrahMos missile system in 2020, defence secretary confirms

Philippine Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana confirmed on 16 December that his country is set to order the BrahMos supersonic cruise-missile system from India in 2020 as part of the military's modernisation programme.

"Signing of the contract will be in 2020. Possibly on the first or second quarter," Lorenzana was quoted by the state-owned Philippine News Agency (PNA) as saying, adding that Manila is looking to procure "two batteries" under a government-to-government deal.

A missile battery is equivalent to three mobile autonomous launchers with two or three missile tubes each, said the PNA.

The defence secretary was also quoted as saying that, aside from the Philippine Army, the system can be used by the Philippine Air Force, adding that once delivered, the BrahMos will be "the first Philippine weaponry with deterrent capability".
