Delivery A new batch of Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) India, scheduled for June, may be delayed by a month, the Times of India reported, citing a source in the Indian Ministry of Defense.
According to the daily, the first batch of Russian air defense systems are already in operation in the north-western part of the country. According to a source from the Indian Ministry of Defense, Russia sent simulators and other training equipment for missile systems to the Indian Armed Forces. The agreements with Moscow suggest that the Indian Armed Forces should receive five batches of S-400 at six-month intervals.
Another Indian publication & mdash; India Today newspaper & ndash; referring to senior government officials, another S-400 batch was delivered to India without delay, despite an ongoing special operation in Ukraine, and New Delhi continues to accept its cargo without delay.
Recall that India announced its desire to acquire the Russian S-400 in 2015. A contract for the supply of five regimental S-400 Triumph complexes worth $ 5.43 billion was concluded during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to India in October 2018.
