India’s air defence systems have recently demonstrated immense power by successfully thwarting Pakistani attacks. Now, the responsibility to prevent future strikes with precision rests squarely on our armed forces. As you may know, the most lethal component of India’s air defence system is the Russian-made S-400.According to sources, the S-400 was used during Operation Sindoor, and based on its performance, the Indian military is now looking to procure additional S-400 missiles. This system comprises four types of missiles capable of engaging targets at ranges between 50 km and 400 km, and India has already sent a request to Russia for more.
The S-400 can intercept missiles, fighter jets, and drones. The S-500, in addition to all these, can target satellites in Earth’s orbit.
