Russia Starts Delivery of S-400 Missile Systems to India |
Da defenseworld.net del 15 novembre 2021 |
The Indian military has started receiving S-400 Triumf air defense systems ordered in October 2018 from Russia. "The supplies of the S-400 air defense system to India have started and are proceeding on schedule," Dmitry Shugaev, Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), was quoted as saying by state-owned DD India (https://twitter.com/DDIndialive/status/1459815870662852609?s=20).
The S-400 was contracted for by India in a deal worth around $5.43
billion (INR 40,000 crore) and five squadrons would be provided to the
country for tackling air threats. As per the report, “thousands of containers and packages” of the first S-400 squadron, including two missile batteries, long-range acquisition and engagement radars and all-terrain transporter-erector vehicles are being to India through the air and sea routes. Once the delivery is complete, the S-400s will be assembled, erected and then undergo acceptance trails in front of Russian experts.
According to
the Indian media, first elements of the S-400 system have reached Indian
soil but all key parts are yet to be delivered. The deliveries have
come ahead of President of Russia Vladimir Putin's scheduled visit to
India on December 6 for a bilateral meet with Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi. Vyacheslav Dzirkaln, the company's deputy General director, told Interfax (https://www.militarynews.ru/story.asp?rid=2&nid=560105&lang=RU) on Saturday that India is “ready to accept, deploy and start operation of the S-400.” One batch of Indian technicians completed training in July this year while another was in the process of wrapping up its training, he added.

Russian Army to Get 200 Aircraft, 26 S-350 & S-400 Missile Systems to Counter 'Western' Threats |
Da defenseworld.net del 2 novembre 2021 |
S-350 "Vityaz" air defense system Russia’s President Vladimir Putin revealed Monday that the military will receive around 200 aircraft, 26 S-350 and S-400 air defense systems besides a number of new S500s in the coming years to counter NATO. “This is required by the general military and political situation, including the growing intensity of NATO aviation flights near Russia, and the appearance of alliance ships with guided-missile weapons in the waters of the Baltic and Black Seas,” Putin told a meeting of the country's military chiefs in the coastal city of Sochi. U.S. plans to deploy intermediate- and shorter-range missiles in Europe pose an additional "great danger and threat" to Russia, he added. “This is why, in accordance with the decisions made earlier, the Russian troops must additionally receive over 200 aircraft and 26 S-350 and S-400 surface-to-air missile systems in the coming years and also the latest and first serial-produced S-500 anti-aircraft missile launchers,” Putin stated. The Russian leader added that the country will increase the share of advanced weapons in the Russian air defense and anti-ballistic missile (ABM) defense troops to 80% by 2025-2027. "The existing pace of rearming the air defense and ABM defense troops will make it possible to bring up the share of advanced weapons and equipment to no less than 80% at the turn of 2025-2027," he was quoted as saying by government-owned TASS (https://tass.com/defense/1356711) News Agency. Special attention should be paid to developing a centralized aerospace defense command and control system, integrating reconnaissance and aerospace attack early warning subsystems into the single information space and deploying advanced space systems, Putin stressed. "An upgraded aerospace defense system must detect all types of hypersonic and ballistic targets at large distances and be capable of destroying them along the entire flight path," the Russian president said. |
