India to start receiving third S-400 air defence missile squadron from Jan-Feb next year from Russia

[walterbibikow]

Russia will begin supplying India with the third squadron of the S-400 air defence missile system in January or February of next year, despite its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. ANI reported defence forces saying, "Indian teams including Air Force personnel were in Russia for the equipment. The supplies for the third squadron are planned to begin from early next year in the January-February timeframe."

According to the sources, the only problem preventing the two countries from exchanging supplies is payment due to international sanctions against conducting financial transactions with Russia.

India has already put its first two missile system squadrons into service. The first two squadrons have been sent out to patrol the Ladakh sector, as well as West Bengal's delicate Chicken's Neck Corridor and the entire northeastern region.

The system can engage enemy fighter jets, unmanned aerial vehicles, ballistic and cruise missiles with a range of up to 400 kilometres.

India and Russia have agreed to a three-year, more than ₹35,000 crore($5.5 billion) deal for India to buy five squadrons of S-400 air defence missiles, and all deliveries are anticipated to be completed by the end of the following fiscal year.

The Indian Air Force, which recently received the indigenous MR-SAM a.k.a Barak 8 and Akash missile systems as well as the Israeli Spyder quick reactions surface to air missile systems, believes the S-400 will change the game. The Indian Air Force has significantly improved its air defence capabilities in recent years.

The S-400 missile systems have also participated in exercises, and according to sources, the adversaries have been alarmed by this because they are aware of the Indian system's superior capabilities to those of the Chinese system.

Presently, the S-400 air defence systems of China and India are each stationed along the Line of Actual Control

The missiles' deployment was designed to ensure that they would completely cover the northern to eastern sector with China. In light of the current international situation, the Russians are taking no chances as they ship and fly the system to India

The joint production of the AK-203 assault rifles in Amethi is another joint effort between India and Russia, and some of the Russian machinery has already arrived at the production site.

All three forces heavily relied on military supplies, with Russia serving as one of India's major suppliers of weaponry.

In the recent years, India has acquired weapons from both Russia's rival, the US, and other European nations, including France. However, the Air Force and the Army still have more than 50% critical fighting systems from Russia

I'll do you one better. Its a surface to Air missile system. Which highly overrated considering its unable to take down HIMARS rockets, TB2 drones effectively. It managed to engage and shoot down the su27, but what would expect from a jet made in the late 70s.

Given the performance of the S300 un Ukraine and limited capability increase between the S300 and S400 - the term "S400" does not induce as much thought as it once did.


The deterrence value of the S400 series has gone down massively since the Ukranian war ..

S-400 Triumf: How This Missile Could Transform the Aerial Battlespace

The year is 2022. A posse of F-16 jet fighters takes off from the main Pakistan Air Force (PAF) base in Sargodha. Approximately 300 km east, at the Indian Air Force (IAF) base in Adampur, Punjab, an S-400 Triumf air defence system picks up these aircraft almost instantly. The radar lock unnerves the F-16 pilots and they peel further west – away from the battery’s radar range.

The F-16s fly towards Balochistan – the furthest they can get away from the Indian border. But here they are tracked by another S-400 battery stationed near the Jodhpur air force base 527 km away.

This isn’t war – the S-400 systems are just routinely scanning the airspace around them in a 360 degree sweep. But the PAF pilots are on the verge of panic. Between the overlapping coverage by India’s multiple S-400 battalions stationed along the border, PAF aircraft can run but not hide. This is the fishbowl effect – the feeling of being observed from all sides

The most devastating impact of India acquiring the S-400 will be on the Pakistani military’s psyche. With its 600 km tracking range – and a 400 km kill range – the air defence system will increase the vulnerability of all Pakistani air assets, especially fighter aircraft, missiles and drones, by several orders of magnitude. According to an article in US Air Force’s ‘Journal for Indo-Pacific Command’, the S-400 has “surfaced as an anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) asset designed to protect military, political, and economic assets from aerial attacks”.

Due to their vast range, just three S-400 battalions located on the border will cover all of Pakistan, except the western extremity of its restive Balochistan province. The arrival of the S-400 will squeeze the operational capabilities of the PAF’s offensive as well as defensive assets.

Due to their vast range, just three S-400 battalions located on the border will cover all of Pakistan, except the western extremity of its restive Balochistan province. The arrival of the S-400 will squeeze the operational capabilities of the PAF’s offensive as well as defensive assets.

Because of its blistering speed of 17,000 kph, an S-400 missile fired from Adampur will take just 65 seconds to hit an F-16 flying over Sargodha. Ejection – rather than evasive action – would be the sensible option against a missile coming at you at that speed. (This is assuming the IAF has opted for the fastest missile type and that Russia has decided to sell it.)

The S-400’s deployment will widen the window of vulnerability of Pakistan’s air force, army and strategic missile forces in a variety of ways:

*First up, PAF jets will be forced to operate hundreds of kilometres west of the Indian border and will have to fly in a narrow strip of airspace along the borders of Iran and Afghanistan.

*Secondly, they will not be able to come to the defence of their armour and troop concentrations which would be taking a pounding from Indian artillery and the IAF.

*The system can even function as a ballistic missile killer until India’s indigenous ballistic missile defence system comes online in the years ahead

It can engage up to 36 targets simultaneously within a range of 400 km, ensuring that all Pakistani air bases come under its range. Chinese air assets in Tibet will also come within striking distance. The S-400’s offensive-defence capability means IAF aircraft won’t have to undertake overly risky strike missions into enemy airspace until it is sanitised.

Counter measures
Of the five systems ordered, India could deploy three on the Pakistan border and two along the Himalayas to counter China. However, it is Pakistan that will suffer the most as its entire territory will be swept by the S-400’s claimed jamming-resistant radar. Since the PAF’s offensive and defensive assets are thin, Pakistan could try and overwhelm Indian air defence systems by launching a large number of missiles of which it has plenty. However, this could be suicidal as it will invite a massive retaliation from India’s strategic command.

The entry of the S-400 will force Pakistan to spend heavily on more numbers of aircraft and missiles – including prohibitively expensive hypersonic ones – needed to neutralise the huge Indian advantage. Given the Pakistani military’s obsessive desire to achieve parity with India, it may go for the HQ-15 – a Chinese knockoff of the older Russian S-300 system. In October 2021, Pakistan commissioned the HQ-9 with an engagement range of 100 km.

With the Pakistani economy not exactly in the pink of health, the additional spending will come at the expense of economic growth needed to employ, feed and house its growing population.

So India has already recieved two units so what's the big deal by getting a third one. Unlike India, who were waving, crying and protesting over US supplying Pakistan with AMRAAM, what concern has Pakistan shown over this acquisition. We know whatever India gets, it is already a battle winner, game Changer and the best in the world.
Remember what happened with the Soviet aircraft carrier and then the PAK FA project, India had invested heavily into it but the Russians wouldn't let you test it in India neither did they allow you near it after the below incident. Mig-29K is another yet another story.
India has acquired it... Good luck with it... Every country has a right to protect it's self... But then the mere mention of Eight F-16s shouldn't rattle Indian nerves.

Europe is remilitarising, Germany and Japan too. Japan even has US bases still they want a strong defensive force!
