The dragon is gradually moving beyond the South China Sea into the Indian Ocean. Asean belt countries are unhappy with China's role as an aggressor. In this situation, India started preparing to encircle the South China Sea. Three ASEAN countries have already purchased supersonic cruise missiles from India. Another country to be added to this list is Thailand. In other words, even if India does not directly enter the South China Sea, China is being gradually surrounded by its friends. Retired Lieutenant General PR Shankar disclosed this information recently in an interview given to the international media “Taiwan Talks”. He claimed that this step is not only to target China, but to create a strong regional security ring.
Brahmos is one of the most powerful weapons of India. The entire world witnessed its power against Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. Since then, the desire to buy these missiles has greatly increased all over the world. In the last one year, Vietnam and Indonesia have signed agreements with India to buy Brahmos. It is known that Malaysia and Thailand can also join this list. In 2022, the Philippines spent $375 million to buy Brahms for the country's coastal security. All these countries are located on the shores of the South China Sea and resent Chinese aggression. It is here that India is taking a leading role in arresting China.
The Brahms Belt is forming around the South China Sea at the tip of China's nose. Due to which China is not directly dominating the region, but they are now facing a powerful India.
In that interview, retired army chief PR Shankar said that the Brahms belt is being formed around the South China Sea at the tip of China's nose. Due to which China is not directly dominating the region, but they are now facing a powerful India. Shankar added, “China has already seen how Brahmos works. Now the Brahmos of enemy terror is right at China's doorstep.” According to the former army chief, the 'Brahms Belt' is not a military alliance, but a growing network of India's Brahms Partnership with countries involved in maritime disputes with China.
Note that the South China Sea is one of the largest trade routes in the world. 21 percent of the world's trade takes place on this route. China claims 90 percent of this sea as its own. Due to which China is in dispute with Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan. China has increased its patrolling in this sea in the last few years. In this situation, coastal countries are buying Brahmos from India to teach China. All in all, an invisible wall of Brahmas is being created across the South China Sea. According to informed sources, this is a remarkable military strategy of India. By not sending any troops or ships to the South China Sea, India has raised China's concerns.
