India Checkmates China in South China Sea

The Philippines India defence deal, the delivery of BrahMos missiles, is reshaping the geopolitical landscape in Asia. As tensions rise in the South China Sea, particularly around the Second Thomas Shoal, the Philippine coast guard is finding itself in increasingly dangerous confrontations with China. This has led to a significant shift in Manila's defense strategy, with India playing a key role.
On 19 April 2024, India delivered BrahMos missiles to the Philippines, marking a pivotal moment in the defence deal Philippines India signed. The delivery of these advanced missiles, part of a $375 million agreement, strengthens the Philippines' capabilities in the South China Sea, where China's aggressive actions continue to escalate.
This video also discusses how India, traditionally a neutral player, is now actively engaging in the region by supporting the Philippines with BrahMos missile systems. The India Philippines BrahMos missiles are a critical component of India's strategy to outmaneuver China and assert its influence in the Indo-Pacific.
Additionally, we touch on the broader geopolitical implications of this deal, including how it fits into India's Necklace of Diamonds strategy, which counters China's String of Pearls approach. India's growing role in the South China Sea dispute, through its support for the Philippines and its own defence updates, highlights the strategic importance of this region. As India's defence exports increase, particularly to countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia, it is clear that India's influence in Asia is on the rise.
