He congratulated the Officers, Enlisted Personnel and Civilian Human Resource (CivHR) who finished the practical series of the training successfully, and further added that “as pioneers of the system, each have proven his/her capacity as fine ambassador of their country”.

Col Romulo D. Quemado PN(M)(GSC), Commander of the Coastal Defense Regiment (Provisional) and End-User of the system, lauded the team for the successful accomplishment of the training and expressed his optimism on the future of the CDR with the trained personnel. He further emphasized the value of retaining the knowledge that they gained during the training to honor the investment made by the Filipino people.

Soon, 🇮🇳 won’t be the sole operator of BrahMos. Its first customer, the Philippine Marine Corps, should be receiving the first of three batteries this year. The 🇮🇳 missiles bring a lot to the table for the 🇵🇭, as seen with the potential basing locations below. https://t.co/Qktu4WbhGk pic.twitter.com/PzDRwKztyt

The training is a critical package included in the Philippine Navy Shore Based Anti-Ship Missile System Project Contract that was signed by the Philippines and India in 2022.

The said acquisition was viewed as a boost to the Philippine Navy’s capability to defend the country’s maritime borders and will further complement the efforts of the PN surface assets in patrolling the Philippine waters.
