India deploys S-400 defense system from Russia on Punjab border

New Delhi, December 31, 2021, Tuesday

The Indian Air Force has deployed the first S-400 defense missile system in the Punjab sector for the country's air security. At the same time, India has become safer against missile attacks. Indian Air Force officers and men were also trained to operate the defense system in Russia. According to information received, the deployment of S-400 defense system purchased from Russia on the border is a major achievement of India's defense sector. Having a defense system was essential to meet the growing threat from China and Pakistan.

A total of five units of this defense system are to be given to Russia by India. India has received a unit as part of the agreement. The United States has opposed Russia's decision to provide India with an S-400 defense system, but the two governments have remained steadfast and made the deal a reality. In 2015, a deal was struck between India and Russia for S-400. This Russian missile system can hit 3 targets simultaneously. Carrying from one place to another is also relatively easy. This missile system is an updated version of the S-400 and S-400 defense systems developed by Russia.

Pakistan has also bought HQ3 defense system from China. Therefore, it is necessary to compare S-400 and HQ. In October, China gave Pakistan a high-to-medium air defense system based on indigenous techniques. The HQ-8 was developed by China's Precision Machinery Import and Export Corporation. The 5.5-meter-long system has many claims but is no better than the S-400 defense system India bought from Russia.

The S-400 defense missile system flies off enemy aircraft. Cruise and ballistic missiles are also capable of hitting the interior. The S-400 can simultaneously track 200 targets in a range of 500 km. The missiles are capable of penetrating any target up to an altitude of 50 km and up to 200 km. This defense system can be ready for the target in just five minutes. Russia's S-400 defense system is considered to be the best and most result oriented in the world.
