Russia and India have signed a contract for the supply of advanced S-400 air defense systems, a senior Indian defense official has said. The delivery will happen “as soon as possible.”
The signing of the contract has been confirmed by Rao Inderjit Singh, Minister of State for Defense Production of India, at an international security forum in Moscow, RIA Novosti and Interfax news agencies reported.
“We have signed this contract,” Singh told Interfax. As for the start of deliveries of the order, he noted "it is difficult to say. As soon as possible."
Russia's Defense Ministry has not yet commented on the reports.
The S-400 is the latest and most advanced of the long-range surface-to-air missiles produced by Russia. The Russian military is the only operator of the system, but China and India are expected to be the first foreign nations to receive it.
Media reports in 2015 said that India wants to buy five S-400 battalions.
Russia recently delivered a previous-generation S-300 variant of the air defense system to Iran, implementing a key defense deal between the two countries after lengthy discussions.
