As per some latest news, Indonesia is moving closer to finalizing a USD 450 Million deal with India for the powerful BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system.
The reports indicate Indonesia expressing specific interest in both coastal-based batteries and the sea-launched variant, reflecting a strategic need to bolster its maritime defense capabilities amid growing regional complexities, particularly in the Indo-Pacific.
This procurement, if finalized, will make Indonesia the second foreign customer for the missile, following the Philippines(one more from South East Asia), and is a significant win for India’s growing defense export ambitions.
The BrahMos, a joint venture between India and Russia, is one of the world's fastest cruise missiles, capable of being launched from land, sea, and air platforms, which explains its global appeal.

Whenever I think of Indonesia I am reminded of their human rights abuses in East Timor. I'm not sure that them acquiring missiles like these is a good thing.
