🇮🇳🇻🇳🇨🇳 Vietnam just bought a Mach 3 headache for China
India’s defence secretary confirmed it at the Shangri-La Dialogue, the BrahMos deal with Vietnam is signed. Done quietly, not formally announced, but done.
The BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile India builds with Russia. It flies near Mach 3, skims the water to beat radar, and barely gives a target time to blink.
Vietnam’s after the shore-based version, the kind you line along a coast to hit ships. And there’s really only one coastline and one navy that makes that buy make sense.
Same move the Philippines made first. India keeps selling the same answer to the same question, and Beijing keeps being the question.
