New Delhi, April 18

India will commence the first ever export of BrahMos missiles tomorrow. The first set of BrahMos launchers and missiles will be delivered to the Philippines.

Two Indian Air Force (IAF) planes, besides a civilian freight liner, will fly out to Philippines that had ordered the missiles from India in January 2022 under a $374.96-million deal. The BrahMos missile system is made up of a number of subsystems, including launchers, vehicles, loaders, and command and control centres.

The missiles going to the Philippines are the shore-based variant of the anti-ship missile, with a range of 290 km.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
