India finalises Rs 65,000 crore missile deal with Russia | Deccan Chronicle

New Delhi: The defence ministry’s top acquisition council on Thursday cleared the purchase of Russian S-400 Triumf air defence missile systems for an estimated Rs 40,000 crore days ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Russia.

The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by defence minister Manohar Parrikar, has decided to buy five units of the S-400 Triumf air defence missile system, capable of destroying incoming hostile aircraft, missiles, and even drones, within a range of up to 400 km. The DAC also gave the go-ahead to other projects worth over Rs 25,000 crore.

Sources said the step has been taken to enhance national air defence. “The price discovery will happen hereafter,” a source said when, asked how much the system would cost.

Industry estimates have suggested that the missile system will cost about Rs 40,000 crore. India will be the second buyer of the missile system, after China, if the deal goes through. It is expected to be a government-to-government deal and there may be forward movement during Mr Modi’s visit to Russia next week.

The S400 Triumf is designed to bring down flying targets, including those equipped with stealth technologies, at a distance of about 400 km. It is also capable of taking out ballistic missiles and hypersonic targets.

Compared to its predecessor, the S-300, the new S-400 has a 2.5 times faster firing rate and is the most modern air defence system in the Russian arsenal. The DAC gave the “acceptance of necessity” to the Army’s proposal for the purchase of six regiments of the Pinaka rocket system under the “Make in India” category for Rs 14,600 crore.

It's the Airforce's 10 yr acquisition Budget which is exhausted, mainly due to PAKFA, which will cost 25 Billion USD for 154 aircrafts

Army and Navy still has plenty of funds that need to be allocated

 

[Goenitz]

it may also include safety/protection system plus some Patnirs to engage cruise missiles etc...
Pakistan should build an espionage/or sleeper cells force to take out tehse or Counter mesures to hack the S 400 missiles system RADARS.. like op by isreali air force in 2007/8 in Syris

There has actually been a change in strategy after the new govt took over.
The figure are just announced for the sake of it.
But funds can be pumped in as per the demand.
Same thing is also happenning with railways budget.

lol Nobody is shivering, We Pakistanis dont "shiver with fear", a Pakistani pigeon is enough to soil a Indian's pants.

Look at the face of this Indian as he holds a Pakistani pigeon.

I see but still, 10 billion is 25% of your defense budget, more than 90% goes into maintaining the military.

We can afford it.We are a $ 2.2 trillion economy.

Yes but you also have a population of one billion. That 2.2 Trillion dollar economy goes into defense, health, education, sanitation and etc...

I see, AF and Navy have been going really good but India needs to work on the Infantry really badly... Improve their physical condition and give them better equipment. I've seen Indian soldiers at Sialkot working boundary many times...

Bachane ka to pata hai .Chahe. Mr. 10% ho.. ya Mr. 25%..

a logical person living in india would shiver with fear because he loves his life and also loves his family, what do you know about life pulling trigger on others??Life is for living and not for killing, that pigeon could had carried information for the terrorist's and also himmat hai toh apni army bhejo ladne ko, killing innocent people wont get you kashmir.....lol pigeon isse kehete hai parinda bhi par na maar sake.....hum udti chidya ke par gin lete tum toh abhi ande mein ho

Yes but you also have a population of one billion. That 2.2 Trillion dollar economy goes into defense, health, education, sanitation and etc...

when you people can build nukes diverting all your funds towards it by eating grass, then we people can also divert all our money by having vada pav and samosa lol

As expected. Whenever India gets something that is out of Pakistan's league, the nuclear jokers pop up all over the place.

I see but still, 10 billion is 25% of your defense budget, more than 90% goes into maintaining the military.

You don't get it. 10 billion is 25% of our annual defence budget. The S-400s won't be paid for in one go, it will be spread out over a few years. Just like any other major purchase. It won't all come at once either, they would come one unit at a time. Russia would need time to manufacture, and India would need time to absorb the technology. (After training enough people to operate the first, they would start training the next team and so on.)

Such complex systems can neither be made nor inducted in one year.
