India says BrahMos deal signed with Vietnam, eyes Indonesia next India has signed a deal with Vietnam under which it will supply BrahMos missiles, which it has jointly developed with Russia, Defense Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said. "With Vietnam, I understand that it [the deal] has already been signed, probably not publicly announced," Singh said at the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore. But it's already been signed." He added that India is in "final stages" for a similar deal with Indonesia. The Philippines was the first foreign buyer of the BrahMos missile system from India, signing a deal worth $375 million in 2022. The deal with Vietnam could be worth about 60 billion rupees ($629 million), including training and logistical support, Reuters news agency has previously reported. Speaking at the Shangri-La defense forum, Singh said that India has a strong commitment to the ASEAN nations, "and we treat all of you as 'friendly foreign countries' with whom we can share advanced defense technologies."
