Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : In April 2024, India delivered the BrahMos Supersonic Cruise Missile to Philippines.
Reason (R) : The Missile has a range of 490 kilometres.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Explanation
Assertion (A) is correct: India delivered the first batch of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to the Philippines on April 19, 2024. This delivery was part of a USD 375 million deal signed in January 2022 for the shore-based anti-ship variant, marking India's first major export of a heavy weapon system.
Reason (R) is incorrect: The range of the BrahMos missile variant delivered to the Philippines is approximately 290 kilometres. While India has successfully tested extended-range versions (BrahMos-ER) with ranges of 450–500 km, the export version for this specific deal was limited to 290 km to adhere to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) guidelines applicable at the time of the deal's inception. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
