Some Arab and Southeast Asian countries have filed requests for BrahMos missile systems, Director of Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Dmitry Shugayev told a briefing on Wednesday.

"Currently, BrahMos missile systems are being actively promoted to third countries and are generating interest among foreign customers. Some countries, in particular, countries of the Arab East and Southeast Asia have already sent their requests for taking delivery of these systems," Russia’s military cooperation chief said.

BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile produced by the BrahMos Aerospace Russian-Indian Joint Venture. The BrahMos missile has been developed by Russia’s Research and Production Association of Machine-Building and India’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO).
