India's defence secretary confirmed the BrahMos deal with Vietnam at the Shangri-La Dialogue. The agreement was signed quietly and not formally announced. BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile built by India with Russia.

The missile flies near Mach 3, skims the water to beat radar, and gives a target barely any time to react. Vietnam is acquiring the shore-based version of the BrahMos missile. That version is designed to be lined along a coast to hit ships.

The Philippines previously acquired the BrahMos missile system.
