Indonesia has signed an agreement with India to procure the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system, Defence Ministry spokesperson Rico Ricardo Sirait told Reuters on Monday.
BrahMos Aerospace, a joint venture between the Indian and Russian governments, had earlier informed Reuters in 2023 that it was in advanced talks with Jakarta on a deal estimated to be worth $200 million to $350 million.
Sirait said the agreement forms part of Indonesia’s broader military modernisation programme, particularly aimed at strengthening maritime defence capabilities. However, he declined to disclose the final value of the contract.
BrahMos secured its first overseas export deal with the Philippines in 2022, marking India’s growing push in the global defence export market.
BrahMos Aerospace and India’s Defence Ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
