LUMUT: Malaysia will examine a proposal to acquire India's BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system, announced Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin. The assessment will consider various factors, including the system's compatibility with Malaysia's existing equipment and its potential impact on the country's defence doctrine.
Khaled emphasized that the proposed missile system, which can be deployed from multiple platforms including fighter aircraft, has a range of between 300km and 400km, significantly longer than Malaysia's current missiles with a range of slightly more than 100km. The proposal was raised during Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's recent visit to India.
