#1 Philippines to buy India's BrahMos missile
"...Philippines became the first country in the region to acquire the BrahMos cruise missile system jointly developed by India and Russia. The ripples for this deal—years in the making—is likely to be felt for a while."
The BrahMos is a nasty beast with a 200kg warhead. Being hit by one will gut most naval vessels. This is not something the CCP will be happy about.

#2 /\ I checked the Indian press article to see if the Twitter photo of a BrahMos had anything to do with reality (journalists and their stock photos of the wrong items.

#3 ^ Yupp. That's the Brahmos alright. It's a Republic Parade pic. It's like a military show and tell every year.
