After the Philippines forcibly entered the Scarborough Shoal, India's supersonic anti-ship missile was delivered to its doorstep.
On April 20th, our Southern Theater Command released a message stating that a small Philippine vessel had been driven out after forcibly entering our territorial waters of the Scarborough Shoal.
Also on the 20th, Indian media claimed that two sets of the Philippines-ordered BrahMos supersonic anti-ship missiles purchased from India had been shipped to the Philippines via sea transportation.
India believes that once its own missiles enter the Philippines, they can significantly enhance the Philippines' anti-ship combat capabilities. Especially in the face of the current South China Sea issue and the contradictions with China, this missile will play a very important role.
Previously, the Philippines has already received BrahMos missiles from India. After these missiles were deployed in the Philippines, they were basically stationed in the north of the Philippines close to the South China Sea. It is obvious that this South China Sea country indeed wants to pose a certain threat to our country by utilizing missiles bought from India.
In particular, Indian media released the news of the arrival of missiles in the Philippines on the same day as our announcement of the Philippine warship's intrusion into the Scarborough Shoal, clearly having some ulterior motives. After all, for this country, the more chaotic the South China Sea becomes, the happier they are.
