The fourth S-400 missile defense system from Russia will soon reach India. Of the 5 systems signed in 2018, 3 are already deployed. It can destroy many air threats from a distance of 400 km, which will further strengthen the country’s air security.
New Delhi: India’s air power is going to increase further. Out of the 5 S-400 missile defense systems purchased from Russia, the fourth system is going to reach India soon. This is expected to further strengthen the country’s air defense capability. Let us tell you that this system had helped in making ‘Operation Sindoor’ successful in response to the attack by Pakistani terrorists in Pahalgam.
5 S-400 missile system deal
In 2018, India had signed a deal with Russia to buy 5 S-400 missile systems for about Rs 35,000 crore. Three of these systems have already arrived in India and are deployed in different parts of the country. In this series, now the fourth system has also left for India from Russia. It is expected that it will reach India in the first or second week of May.
According to sources, this system can be deployed on the Rajasthan border. At the same time, the fifth and last system is expected to reach India by November this year. The special thing is that only last month, India had decided to buy 5 more S-400 apart from these 5 systems.
Why is S-400 special?
It is considered to be the world’s most modern missile attack and defense system. It has the power to detect 300 missiles and drones coming from a distance of 300-400 kilometers at the same time and shoot them down in the air.
