Mon Mar 10 16:57:28 UTC 2025: ## Indonesia Delays Decision on Purchasing BrahMos Missiles
**JAKARTA, Indonesia (March 10, 2025)** — Indonesia has yet to finalize a decision on purchasing BrahMos missiles from the Indo-Russian joint venture, according to a spokesperson from the Indonesian Defence Ministry. While BrahMos had previously announced advanced discussions for a deal potentially worth between $200 million and $350 million, the spokesperson, Frega Wenas, stated that Indonesia is currently considering multiple missile systems from various companies, not solely BrahMos. The statement follows a meeting between the Indonesian and Vietnamese Defence Ministers.
Wenas emphasized that the BrahMos offer is “one of our considerations to review,” but declined to provide a definitive timeline, citing the absence of a formal contract. BrahMos has not yet commented on the delay. The potential deal involved shore-based and warship-mounted versions of the mid-range BrahMos missiles. While the company secured its first foreign sale with the Philippines in 2022, and has expressed interest from other Southeast Asian and West Asian nations, the Indonesian deal remains uncertain.
