In a few days, the Philippines and the United States will hold their annual "shoulder to shoulder" military exercise around the Philippines, and according to Philippine media reports, the number of participants in this exercise held by the United States and the Philippines and other joint fleets may reach a record 17,000, and the number of countries participating or sending observer missions has also reached a staggering 16 countries.
Perhaps it was the large number of troops in the exercise that gave Marcos confidence, or the large number of participating countries that gave him courage, in the recent period of time, Marcos has frequently made nonsense on the South China Sea issue, repeatedly provoking China's bottom line and patience!
While China and the Philippines were confronting each other in the South China Sea, India quietly did a big thing at this time, sending two transport planes to Clark Airport in Panga Province in the Philippines on April 19. According to reliable sources, the two transport planes sent by India this time were carrying BrahMos supersonic anti-ship missiles purchased by the Philippines from India!
The Philippines takes garbage as a baby!
According to Philippine media reports, the military has not disclosed the location of the BrahMos missiles, but according to relevant sources, India has delivered the equipment configuration of a missile company, including three ballistic launchers and supporting radars, as well as 10 missiles for conventional combat readiness duty!
After learning the news, the Philippine media said that at a time when Sino-Philippine relations are so tense, India delivered BrahMos anti-ship missiles in a timely manner, which is conducive to the Philippines launching a tactical deterrent counterattack against the PLA Navy!
Philippine military personnel also said in their speeches that they are very much looking forward to the performance of India's hypersonic missile, and hope that it will be delivered to the Philippine troops for use as soon as possible!
In addition, relevant Philippine military personnel also said that the Philippines has long made relevant training in the operation and use of the missile, and as long as the missile is deployed in place, Philippine military personnel can quickly get started and master the use of this missile, and at the same time quickly put it into combat readiness duty of the army.
The Philippine military also said that in the coming period, the Indian side will continue to deliver two sets of BrahMos supersonic anti-ship missile equipment to the Philippines! Even the Indian media have not taken it upon themselves to say that the deployment of these BrahMos anti-ship missiles will enable the Philippine military to gain a powerful anti-ship capability to sink a Chinese aircraft carrier!
It is not difficult to see from the performance of the Philippine military and the media that these poor babies have really been fooled by India, and even now they are going to the road of flickering and lame!
The Philippines now seems to really think that after having India's so-called BrahMos anti-ship missile, it can threaten the security of the Chinese Navy and even aircraft carriers, but in fact, there have been countless examples of being deceived so much that they have no bottoms in front of them, but the Philippines chooses to turn a blind eye to this!
In 2017, Vietnam was fooled into spending more than $400 million to buy 10 India's so-called BrahMos anti-ship missiles, but what was the result?
Vietnam test-fired 3 missiles, and all 3 of them had all kinds of problems, either the range shrunk or the missiles were out of control, anyway, none of the missiles hit the target, and the Vietnamese side asked for a return under such circumstances, but how could the money in the hands of the big scoundrel India be returned to you again?
So Vietnam can only suffer this dumb loss, and now the remaining 17 so-called hypersonic anti-ship missiles are still piled up in Vietnamese warehouses to eat ashes.
BrahMos simply cannot inflict any damage on the Chinese Navy!
After the Philippines and India reached an agreement on the purchase of BrahMos anti-ship missiles, almost all the evaluations were that the Philippines was definitely a big injustice, and such an anti-ship missile would be resigned to fate when launched, and whoever bought it had a problem with his braincase!
Of course, the Philippines may have been fooled by India and mistakenly believed that India had fixed the malfunction of this missile, but even if India's missile can reach the level they say, it will not be able to pose a threat to our warships at all!
The foreign trade version of India's BrahMos anti-ship missile, the marked range can reach 290 kilometers, and its maximum flight speed can reach Mach 3.
You must know that China's 1130 naval close-in defense artillery can intercept missiles below Mach 4 with a success rate of 96%, and intercept anti-ship missiles with a speed of Mach 3 can intercept 3 at the same time and maintain a good interception rate.
That is to say, the 10 so-called hypersonic anti-ship missiles sold by India to the Philippines, as long as our 3 1130 close defense guns fire a salvo, they will basically all be scrapped!
In addition, there are Hongqi series of anti-aircraft missiles, as well as other medium- and long-range anti-aircraft missiles on the destroyer, and intercepting the so-called BrahMos is like playing! The Philippines spent 2.7 billion yuan on this thing.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if China's warships lose their air defense capabilities and can only bombard the Philippines with long-range supersonic missiles, which of the missiles China has is not as long as the BrahMos?
The BrahMos anti-ship missile has a range of 290 km, and to put it mildly, it is even less radiant than some air defense missiles, and even before the missile is launched, it is locked and intercepted by local air defense missiles; such missiles dare to be sold for foreign trade, and if the Philippines dares to buy them, is India not afraid of being embarrassed? Where does the face come from to boast about deterring China's aircraft carriers? Perhaps the Philippines and India both have the same attributes that live in a dream, and it seems that only this explanation is reasonable!
