India planning to buy Russian S-400 Triumf air defence missile systems: Report | Zee News

Delhi: India is planning to acquire new-generation Russian S-400 Triumf air defence missile systems, as per a media report.

The Russian air defence missile systems can supposedly destroy incoming hostile aircraft, stealth fighters, missiles and drones.

Its range is up to 400 km.

The Times of India quoted sources as saying that the defence acquisitions council (DAC), which is chaired by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, will soon take up the proposal.

The proposal for the acquisition has been moved by the IAF.

The plan is to purchase around a dozen S-400 long-range systems.

The Daily also quoted sources as saying that the project was at an initial stage at present and that if finalised, the S-400 systems will be inducted over several years.

Parrikar is due to visit Russia.

Also Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Putin will be holding a summit in Moscow in December.

The S-400 reportedly has three kinds of missiles with different capabilities.

It is said to fly at supersonic and hypersonic speeds to intercept all kinds of targets at ranges from 120 to 400 km.

Who will be first China or India : ))

I hope this thread is not derailed by another idiot. Good news if true. I want this to go along with the BARAK and DRDO's indigenous developments.

Rosoboronexport general director Anatoly Isaikin has confirmed that the long-mooted contract with China for the Almaz S-400 Triumph air defense missile system was signed in September last year. The organization will supply four divisions with Russia’s latest surface-to-air missile.

Typically, one firing set of the S-400 system includes a 91N6E surveillance radar; up to six 98Zh6E units each of 92N6E engagement radars and up to 12 launchers. The 30K6E control post can control a mixed grouping of S-400 and S-300PMU-1/2 systems, and, through a Ranzhir-M control vehicle, also the Thor, Pantsyr and Tunguska missile systems. Target data can be fed from external radar sources.

The transporter-erector-launcher is an evolved design; it can carry either four canisters of 48N6E3 missiles with a range of 250 km or have any one of those replaced with a set of four smaller canisters containing 9M96E/E2 missiles. According to missile developer Fakel, the 9M96E/E2 has demonstrated a 70-percent direct hit probability against tactical ballistic missiles and PGMs. Against other targets, the circular error probability is within several meters, guaranteeing that the 24 kg dispersal warhead will achieve a kill. The Triumph can also employ the 40N6 missile, which has a range of up to 400 km.


In November 2014 Moscow and Beijing inked a $3 billion agreement for the supply of six battalions of S-400 anti-aircraft/anti-missile systems that will significantly boost China’s air defence capability against the US and its allies in the Western Pacific.

First deployed by Russia in 2010, each S-400 battalion has eight launchers, a control centre, radar and 16 missiles available as reloads.

It has adopted the Russian Cold War strategy of attacking aircraft carriers with waves of bombers armed with its cruise missiles(that are knockoffs of Russian missiles). In fact, complete destruction of a carrier isn't necessary; even slight damage can put such large vessels out of commission for months. And since wars don’t last that long these days, the crippling of its carrier arm will force American capitulation early on in any conventional conflict.
To counter the missile threat to its carriers, the Americans are relying on the F-35 as a cruise missile killer. More than a trillion dollars have already been spent on this troubled project. Even if the F-35 is able to miraculously overcome its shortcomings, the S-400 upends this strategy.

The S-400 deal follows the clearance of the Su-35 fighter-bomber sale to China last year. Negotiations that had got bogged down for years because the Russian side wanted to protect their intellectual property were greenlighted after the West imposed sanctions.

The Russian concern was the Chinese would buy a few ‘samples’, take them apart, and then cancel the deal after deciding they could reverse engineer local versions. These knock-offs which would then be peddled cheap as chips overseas. In fact, the Chinese have traditionally reverse-engineered Russian weapons. Their J-15 jet fighter, for instance, is a copy of the Russian Sukhoi-33.

How about Algerians , they say they recieved it , or they just use s-300 pmu 2 on BAZ-6402 vehicles?

And here goes the su-35 acquisition PAF

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. It's not ever certain if PAF wants SU-35, especially when PAF happens to have thing against twin engine jets. Lastly, if Russia would want to sell them to Pakistan it won't let deals with other countries shadow it, just like RD-93.

According to Sputnik News

The blogger reported that the contract for the supply of S-400 in Algeria was signed a year ago. The proof of this delivery is a photograph of a BAZ-64022 truck with shelter tarpaulin launcher.

It is alleged that the photo was taken in the spring of 2015 during the test of the delivered weapons. The volume of deliveries, according to the author, was for 3-4 Regiments (6-8 divisions of 8 launchers each).

If the delivery is confirmed, Algeria will become the first foreign buyer of the S-400.

India is trying to build a multilayer defence system..... is it a doctirine to start a war.?

 

[SrNair]

If we deploy S 400 in western sector we can establish a no fly zone over Pakistan .
Right? @Joe Shearer @SpArK @AUSTERLITZ @nair @levina and others

Technically, given the range, yes, over most of Pakistan. I haven't worked it out, just answering on the fly before going back to checking answer papers but Baluchistan might not be covered.

Still that give the Pakistan a narrow chance ,shift those F16 to Balochistan and use mid refuel to escape its envelope.
FGFA will delay as usual .So I think IAF put forward these proposal to plug that gap .
In eastern sector an envelope can create across Tibet with these system .But will they accept our proposal ?,Russians .I mean if China try to influence them ,it would be a doubtful

Defence system is to defend the country

Well I am quoting your post to get more info from Pakistani members..!

Can you guys give your thoughts on above mentioned claim?

Not Baluchistan. However, deploying such assets one also ensures that the asset itself is reasonably secure. After all, just as the S-400 could cover all of Pakistan, it too will be vulnerable to both ground launched and air launched systems that home in on its plentiful emissions. It is the reasons that even the Soviets would place their larger assets closer to vulnerable areas and would leave their border areas to lesser ranged systems.
