Philippine President Marcos is planning to visit India within August, and the navies of the Philippines and India will hold joint exercises east of the Scarborough Shoal, along the western coast of the Philippines. This is part of the Philippines' efforts to rally international forces to support its claims in the South China Sea. The interaction between the Philippines and India has been ongoing for many years; India's Brahmos missiles have already been sold to the Philippines, although it is unknown what their actual capabilities are, but India's determination to arm the Philippines is as firm as that of the United States.

Therefore, the Philippines keeps buying weapons from India and the United States in order to gain support from another country, so that they can support its claims in the South China Sea. However, to be fair, the blogger hopes that the area of the Scarborough Shoal can be filled in and built into a military naval base as soon as possible. Once the cannons are set up on the Scarborough Shoal, it would be enough to make the Philippines feel terrified, which is no problem at all. Perhaps the situation hasn't reached that point, or it's not yet necessary to make the relationship too tense, and the lack of reclamation of the Scarborough Shoal is still a bit regrettable.

Perhaps because countries have their own strategies, we don't need to talk about it anymore. India has always been like this, liking to cause trouble, and supporting the Philippines to cause trouble is a strategy of India, and if they want to help the Philippines strengthen its military power, they should do it quickly. It is hoped that the Philippines buys more Indian weapons, preferably copying all of India's weapons, which would be safer.

If the Philippines keeps buying American weapons, it may have some strength, but buying Indian weapons is absolutely ineffective. Where can the Brahmos missile fly once it is launched? That is where it goes. However, we should be alert to the reckless actions of the Philippines and India, but these two countries have no common language, only for the sake of prosperity, which is also a makeshift team.
