The Philippines have formally inked an 18.9 billion pesos ($370 million) contract with India for the acquisition of Brahmos supersonic cruise missiles, its defense ministry said in a statement on Friday.

The 290-kilometer (180 miles) range Brahmos shore-based anti-ship missile system is produced by an Indo-Russian defense corporation BrahMos Aerospace, a joint venture between India and Russia established in 1998.
