RUSSIA & INDIA INK MUCH-AWAITED S-400 LONG-RANGE SAM DEAL

India has inked a much-awaited S-400 Triumf long-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system purchase from Russia. According to Russia Today, an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) regarding the S-400 was signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Moscow. Russia hopes to ink commercial contracts with India before mid-2017, which would enable the first S-400 systems to be delivered in 2020.

Under the IGA, the Indian Navy will also procure three Project 11356 frigates. Russia and India will also enter into a co-production partnership over the Kamov Ka-226T utility helicopter (TASS).

The S-400 Triumf is Russia’s marquee long-range SAM system and it is capable of engaging at a range of 120 to 400 km. Thus far, the S-400 has only been offered to China and India (and is on order from both).

Notes & Comments:

The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD)’s Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) cleared the S-400 purchase in December 2015. At the time, the acquisition’s expected cost was set at $4.5 billion U.S. Alongside the also recently concluded purchase of 36 Dassault Rafale multi-role fighters from France, the S-400 will be one of India’s marquee acquisitions towards the end of this decade and the beginning of the 2020s.

However, even a stand-alone factor, the S-400’s introduction into South Asia is a genuine game-changer, one that will likely force Pakistan to adopt an asymmetrical defensive and offensive doctrine, especially in light of the S-400’s potential use to stifle Pakistan of accessing its own air space.

Last week the first payments for Rafale were made.

Ministry of Defence would wait for February [when budget is released for next FY] before signing any more commercial contracts.

S400 is good. But it doesn't need to be compared in such a way.

David's Sling is another thing which interests MoD. If the deal goes through , will you eat your words ?

Should ideally be placed closer to Pakistan.

If this is the case we already outmatched you in every sphere of war.

With S400 will can ground your airforce without sending a single manned aircraft for air superiority. And destroy your assets with carpet bombing.

Now you know what difference it can make

Are you blind..can you not see two strong enemies in your immediate neighbourhood getting even stronger and ready to screw your country on every front, for Russians I am not sure but ultimately geo politics doesn't remain the same.
