[abc123xyx]

Good point. Look up the ranges.

as expected..

inhand proven system with control over tech.
or
a russian tech.

???

just recall ,

cryogenic engine : three bought , two failed , then we devoloped our own.
bhrahmos : a paper project which we concluded.

india is best in missiles/rocket and isreal in radars...
barak8 is the best .
a sureshoot by a 100km barak8 is better then a procleamed 400km.

and yes LATER...
just like the su30 mki....after 15 years...IAf now discover that f16 is better.

Who told that 16 is better than mki,when did iaf said like that?
Bring with link...

we are going to commite huge money init.
has this system achive a single real kill?
or are we going to discover it later ?

Ur barak8 also yet to have achieve a kill in real scenario.

why buy when they already invested in barak8

Why people are investing both in two wheelers and four wheelers together?

S-300 Missile Systems in Syria a 'Cold Shower on Hot Heads of Pentagon Generals'

The presence of modern Russian anti-aircraft missile systems in Syria has changed the balance of power in the Syrian conflict, Russian military expert Igor Korotchenko told Radio Sputnik.

According to Korotchenko, the deployment of S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems has significantly changed the military-political situation in Syria.

"I think this has caused the effect of a ‘cold shower' on hot heads of the Pentagon generals. The presence of such powerful, long-range air defense missile systems is a serious military-political factor that contributes to the neutralization of the threats and the US saber-rattling," Korotchenko told Sputnik. © SPUTNIK/

ALEXANDER VILF Russia's 'Purely Defensive' S-300 to 'Psychologically Reduce Risks' in Syria According to Korochenko, the presence of advanced Russian air defense missile systems in Syria has had a stabilizing effect on the situation in the country and in the region as a whole.

He noted that prior to the deployment of the S-300 systems the US publicly announced the possibility of carrying out airstrikes against Syrian government forces, but the move has changed the balance of power and forced the US to reconsider its position.

"These modern anti-aircraft missile systems have changed the balance of power as they have deprived Americans of the hypothetical possibility to carry out airstrikes with impunity. And we see that the Pentagon has already adjusted its strategy: mere words are one thing, but the fact that there is a real military force behind Russia is quite another. In this regard the Americans, of course, have to take into account the circumstances," Korotchenko said.

Similar opinion was voiced by retired colonel Mikhail Khodarenok, who believes that Russia has deployed the S-300V4 "Antey-2500" and the S-400 Triumf to the Syrian port city of Tartus and the Hmeymim airbase respectively to show the bare minimum that Moscow requires to "prevent military hotheads from the other side from making rash decisions."

Recently, Russia deployed the S-300 air defense system in Syria's port city of Tartus in addition to S-400 currently stationed at Russia's Hmeymim airbase in the Latakia province. Commenting on the issue, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that the Russian S-300 and S-400 systems in Syria threaten no one and are stationed there exclusively for defensive purposes. © SPUTNIK/ RAMIL SITDIKOV

Russia Placed S-300 Missiles in Syria After Learning of US Plans to Bomb Airbases According to Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, the decision to deploy S-300 anti-air missile system in Syria came after receiving leaked data on US intentions to bomb Syrian airbases.

"The S-300 appeared there [in Syria] after experts close to the American establishment had started leaking information…that the US could hit Syrian airfields with cruise missiles," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in an interview with Russia's Dozhd TV channel.

S-300V4 (NATO designation SA-23 Gladiator) is meant to track and intercept short- and medium-range ballistic missile, aeroballistic and cruise missiles, as well as fixed-wing aircraft, ECM (electronic countermeasure) platforms and precision-guided munitions.

S-400 is the best investment we ever made.

But high time we start developing our own advanced systems like these at least in the coming 10 years.

when is the system coming to India.

India and Russia are expected to sign a contract by the end of 2017, according to a Russian official.
Russia is expected to sign a contract with India for the procurement of four to five regiments of Russian-made S-400 Triumf advanced Air Defense Systems (NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler) by the end of 2017, according to senior Russian government official.

“Contractual negotiations are ongoing. That is why it is still premature to speak about the number of systems that will be delivered. We are very hopeful that the contract for the delivery of S-400 Triumf antiaircraft missile systems will be signed by the end of this year,” Deputy Director of Russia’s Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation, Vladimir Drozhzhov, told TASS news agency on February 14.

As I reported previously (See: “India and Russia Ink S-400 Missile Air Defense System Deal”), both countries signed an inter-governmental agreement in Goa, India in October 2016 at the sidelines of the eight BRICS summit. The signing ceremony was attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. At the time, Russian officials expressed hopes that the contract will be finalized in the first quarter of 2017. Unsurprisingly, given India’s slow military procurement process, this date apparently now had to be pushed back.

The Indian Ministry of Defense’s Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) already approved the S-400 purchase in December 2015 , which made India the second country after China to purchase the S-400, purportedly one of the most advanced missile air defense systems in the world. The S-400 is capable of engaging a host of targets including ballistic and cruise missiles, bombers operating at high altitudes and stand-off jammer aircraft. It is, however, unclear what missiles the Russia will supply India with.

As I explained elsewhere (See: “A2/AD Threat: Russian Army Adds 2nd S-400 Regiment in 2016” ):
In comparison to its predecessor, the S-300, the S-400 air defense system features an improved radar system and updated software; it can purportedly can fire four new types of surface-to-air (SAM) missiles in addition to the S-300’s 48N6E, a vertical tube launched, solid fuel, single stage SAM with an estimated range of 150 kilometers (93 miles), and the improved 48N6E2 missile with a reported range of 195 kilometers (121 miles).

One of the S-400’s new missiles is the so-called 40N6 SAM with an estimated operational range of 400 kilometers (248.5 miles) and an altitude of up to 185 kilometers (607,000 feet). The missile is reportedly capable of exo-atmospheric interception of intermediate-range ballistic missile warheads in their terminal phase. However, it is unclear whether the weapon is operational in Russia yet and no images of the 40N6 SAM have surfaced so far.
The S-400 is also armed with an improved variant of the 48N6E2 with an alleged range of 250 kilometers (160 miles). The air defense system can also fire two additional missiles, the 9M96E and 9M96E2 with respective ranges of 40 km (25 miles) and 120 km (75 miles). Improved S-300 air defense systems such as the S-300PMU-2 Favorite ( sold to Iran), can purportedly also fire the 9M96E and 9M96E2. The S-400 can purportedly fire missiles at a rate 2.5 times faster than its predecessor, the S-300.

One S-400 regiment is usually divided into two battalions each of which capable of deploying eight launchers and a total of 32 surface-to-air missiles.

India and Russia could be just weeks away from signing one of the biggest defence deals between the two sides in recent history, said two senior defence sources this week.

The contract negotiations for the purchase of the S-400 Triumf long range air defence systems are in the final stages, and are expected to be closed by March 31.

India is planning to buy five systems that is expected to cost about ₹39,000 crore and is considered one of the most potent Surface to Air missile systems in the world. It can track and shoot down a range of incoming airborne targets at ranges of upto 400km.

“We expect to conclude the S-400 contract within this financial year,” a defence source said.

In 2016, the two countries had concluded the Inter-Governmental Agreements for five S-400 systems and four stealth frigates after which the contract negotiations began to conclude a commercial contract.

Another defence official said they expect to wind up the cost negotiations within the next 10 days.

Officials termed the negotiations as “very complex” as there were thousands of pages of documentation to be discussed. Russia has already conveyed to India that the deal should not have any offset clause as it is a strategic system.

For India, deploying the S-400 means that Pakistani aircraft can be tracked even when they are flying in their airspace. This will significantly beef up India’s alert levels in securing the country’s air space. The systems will be operated by the Indian Air Force (IAF).

China which has signed a $3 billion deal for six S-400 systems in 2014 has begun taking delivery of them. In December 2017, Turkey signed an agreement for two systems
