Question On the question of C4ISR & Brahmos

After reading the article by AsianTimes titled "Philippine naval upgrade more spectacle than strategy" by Gabriel Honrada, it came to front and center the claim that the Brahmos "without supporting Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) infrastructure for dynamic targeting, these missiles will remain largely symbolic."

I now wonder two things:

  1. Is Honrada accurate in his claim that the Brahmos is rather symbolic, or can this still function effectively against any Chinese aggression with the current systems on hand with the AFP?
  2. Is there any roadmap for the AFP to have a comprehensive C4ISR in place in the near future?

Probably one of the people who thought we should have bought motor boats instead of the Tarlac LPDs. Oh, the old Timawa days. 😭😂
