A former US State Department adviser claims the BrahMos supersonic missile is less effective for the Philippines without C4ISR capabilities, crucial for advanced targeting and situational awareness. Despite this, Commander Milind Kulshreshtha (retired) of the Indian Navy argues that BrahMos remains a potent weapon, even in standalone mode. The Philippines, the first buyer of BrahMos, is setting up a missile base facing the South China Sea to counter Chinese aggression. Enhanced C4ISR integration, potentially supported by allies, could further bolster its operational effectiveness.
