 According to the Indian newspaper The Tribune on September 15 Russia says it delivered S-400 missile systems to India on time despite pressure from the US.

 Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov made the remarks ahead of a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Uzbekistan this week.

Russia on September 14 said it has delivered its most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile defence system S-400 to India on time despite pressure from Washington and the US-led West’s sanctions. Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov made the remarks ahead of a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Uzbekistan this week.

The contract to deliver five battalion sets of S-400 worth 5.43 billion dollars was signed in October 2018. S-400 is a Russian long- and medium-range air defense missile system. It is designed to hit air-launched weapons and reconnaissance means, including stealth aircraft, as well as other aerial targets amid intensive fire and electronic countermeasures. It has a range of 400 km and can destroy targets at an altitude of 30 km. The S-400 entered service in the Russian armed forces in 2007.

Russia had started delivery of the first regiment of S-400 in December 2021. The missile system has already been deployed in such a way that it can cover parts of the border with China in the northern sector as well as the frontier with Pakistan.
