First BrahMos, Now 'Astra': Indian Missiles Power Indonesia; Send Fiery Message To China

Indonesia's decision to acquire India's Astra missile alongside additional BrahMos batteries marks one of the biggest milestones for India's defence industry. The move comes after Operation Sindoor demonstrated the effectiveness of Indian missile technology against Chinese-origin systems, giving Astra valuable combat credibility. But the story goes far beyond missiles. As more Southeast Asian nations seek trusted partners to enhance their security without direct confrontation, India is emerging as a reliable supplier of advanced military systems. With the Philippines, Vietnam and now Indonesia embracing Indian missiles, Delhi is steadily building a network of strategic partnerships across the Indo-Pacific while expanding its influence in one of the world's most contested regions. #india #indonesia #pmmodi #brahmos #astra #astramk1 #sukhoi30 #drdo #operationsindoor #china #southchinasea #indopacific #indianairforce #asean #timesaxis #toi Indonesia's decision to acquire India's Astra missile alongside additional BrahMos batteries marks one of the biggest milestones for India's defence industry.

For decades, global narratives have been shaped by Western media... told through Washington, London or Beijing. But as India rises as a major economic, military and diplomatic power, why should others define the world for us? Why shouldn’t India shape its own voice, own perspective, and own narrative? That’s where AXIS comes in. We decode global power shifts, wars and conflicts, the India-China rivalry, Pakistan, West Asia, oil shocks, trade battles and neighbourhood politics - with one key question: What does this mean for India and for you? As India rises, so should its share of voice!
