  "account": "Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, has stated that the Royal Malaysian Air Force should decide whether to acquire the BrahMos supersonic surface-to-air missile system from India. NEW DELHI: Anwar Ibrahim has confirmed Malaysia is exploring the possibility of procuring the BrahMos system from India. The discussions are ongoing and no final decision has been made at this stage. He said the talks were made during a bilateral meeting with his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, but the final decision lies with the Royal Malaysian Air Force (TUDM). We have discussed this, but ordinarily, the responsibility is on the relevant department or agency with expertise in the air force, they should continue the discussions. They have had initial talks and I have told Indian Prime Minister Modi that I strongly support this, as this relationship is built on trust and we want to strengthen it in all areas, he said in a meeting with NDTV India. Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, recognizes India's defense capabilities. BrahMos is a long-range supersonic cruise missile powered by a ramjet that can be launched from submarines, ships, fighter aircraft, or a quick-launch carrier. It is a joint effort between India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyeniya Persekututan, which together form BrahMos Aerospace.",
