Russia’s Eastern Military District plans to hold large-scale air defence drills with the involvement of S-400, S-300, Tor, Buk and other air defence systems which are due to take place at the Telemba training ground this year. With India and Russia close to an agreement on the sale of S-400 LRSAM systems by the end of this year , highly reliable sources close to idrw.org have confirmed that Russia plans to invite Indian Air Force observers to witness tactical field firing exercise at the Telemba range this September .
Russia is also eager to showcase visiting Indian Air force officials combat test firing capabilities of its other air defence systems like Tor-M2 and Buk air defense system which already have been on offer to India for some time now . S-400 Triumph is the latest generation of the long-range Russian air defence system developed by NPO Almaz-Antey.
It is meant to defend crucial military and civilian areas from aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles. It is capable of shooting down targets at a range of up to 400 kilometers, and altitudes of up to 60 kilometers, depending on the type of interceptor missile fired. A full division of S-400s can simultaneously track 36 targets and guide 72 missiles.
