💨 Abstract

The Philippines aims to modernize its military, focusing on acquiring additional BrahMos missiles from India, at least two submarines, mid-range missiles, and 40 fighter jets. This is part of a $35 billion plan over the next decade to counter China's military presence in the region. The Philippines has already purchased a BrahMos anti-ship missile system and is expecting deliveries of South Korean corvette vessels this year.
