India Expands Air Defence Capabilities Amid Evolving Security Requirements
India has moved ahead with its plan to acquire five additional S-400 Triumf air defence systems from Russia, with Moscow submitting a cost proposal detailing construction and material costs. The proposed acquisition comes as India seeks to strengthen its layered air defence capabilities amid evolving security requirements along its western and eastern fronts. The decision to approve the acquisition will be taken by the Cabinet Committee on Security after the cost is finalised with Moscow and a green signal obtained from the Indian finance ministry, as reported by ETManufacturing.
