The Philippines is small, India intends to take back Russia's "BrahMos" missiles, is Putin in a hurry?
The small country of the Philippines has thrown out a small problem in the international arms market, but India's reaction has not been small. The sales of BrahMos missiles are not satisfactory, and India wants to throw this hot potato back into Russia's hands, but this throw, Putin's dilemma comes.
The Indian Cabinet's purchase plan is in a big uproar, but the question is, why are the BrahMos missiles so unpopular on the international market? We can't help but ask, what is the reason why it is difficult to find a buyer for this originally powerful ** today? One can't help but wonder, why does India want to sell this ** back to Russia?
First of all, the applicability of this missile in **? India is a party to the ballistic missile and its technology control regime, which has restrictions, and BrahMos seems to be somewhat "overweight" in this regard. Whether it is really suitable for the international market is a question that needs to be carefully considered.
Secondly, the production problem cannot be ignored. The production of BrahMos missiles is heavily dependent on Russian technology, and the Russian side does not agree to export, and India falls into passivity. Now, India seems to see an opportunity to sell the missile to Russia to replace some of its aging armaments. In this way, the question arises, is Russia willing to buy back?
Different countries, different needs, and complex problems. India seems to have greater strategic intentions on this issue. On the one hand, they may try to seize a place in the Russian arms market, after all, the Russian-Ukrainian war has revealed the problem of Russia's aging. But is it really a good idea to sell BrahMos missiles back to Russia?
This leads to deeper thinking. Russia's technological gap has been a source of pain for India. They found in the Russian-Ukrainian war that Russia is far behind the West in the automation of electronic information. This may have inspired some of India's ideas to try to save some face through this deal.
With the unpredictable changes in international politics, India seems to want to use this arms deal to "counter the generals" and reverse the situation that was once "eaten and demanded" by Russia. All this may stem from the refusal of the Russian side to provide India with advanced technology, delays in deliveries, and various nominal price increases.
In the eyes of India, the BrahMos missile seems more suitable to return to Russia. Russia's attitude will have a profound impact on future arms cooperation between the two sides. Whether India wants to solve the problem at hand, or whether Russia can accept the "buyback" offer, it may take time to reveal.
