India to get 4th S-400 squadron from Russia this week
India is about to get its fourth S-400 missile squadron from Russia this week, a delivery that was delayed thanks to payment and supply issues linked to the Russia-Ukraine war.
The new squadron will boost air defense along the western border, especially in Rajasthan, giving India more muscle where it matters.
India plans 5 more S-400 units
The S-400 system helps protect against enemy aircraft, drones, and cruise missiles, pretty crucial with regional tensions running high.
India's current S-400s have already shown their worth (one even pulled off a nearly 300-kilometer surface-to-air kill, which Air Chief Marshal AP Singh called "the largest-ever recorded surface-to-air kill").
With plans for five more units on the horizon, India is doubling down on staying ready for whatever comes next.
