I think India should just go for Western weapons, enough of Ruski Hindi Bhai Bhai

Maybe Chinese do not require it

While for India it is a must.

India might be paying a premium for her urgency !!!

look in china no body will dare to question communist
but in india extra payment inn bofors led to the downfall of rajeev gandhi govt
some kick backs here and there is possible
it is absolutely atrocious to even think that a govt will buy some stuff which some one else has got half of the price
its a recipe for suicide for a democracy like india

India has no choice when it comes to technologies and military equipment, so to be ripped off is common

Chinese s-400 order was placed earlier,thus u have to account for inflation.Indian s-400 will also have newer missile.

The agreement to buy five divisions of the S-400 system is worth $6 billion.

http://www.popsci.com/china-and-russia-sign-biggest-arms-deal-decade-buy-worlds-best-missile

The Moscow Times reports that the deal was negotiated for $3 billion, to deliver 6 S-400 battalions

3 billion for 6
6 billion for 5/6

You do the math.
