In a boost for India’s air defense, Russia will soon deliver the S-400 Triumf anti-aircraft weapon system that will augment our national security interests against Pakistan and China, reports Livemint.
Vyacheslav Dzirkaln, the deputy chief executive of Russian air and defence major Almaz-Antey said, “I can confirm that we will deliver [the S-400 system to India] by the end of 2021 in accordance with the schedule and contractual obligations of the Russian side.”
Dzirkaln also mentioned that the training of the Indian military personnel who will operate the S-400 system is underway while interacting with the reporters at the International Military-Technical Forum “ARMY-2021”.
“As for the training, the first group of Indian specialists have completed the training. The second group is undergoing training. I would not talk about the number of people but it is a sufficient number for the Indian armed forces to effectively operate our equipment,” Dzirkaln shared.
“I would like to say that the results shown by the first group of Indian specialists after the training were very high,” he said.
