    India S-400 Acquisition - News Updates and Discussions

    I thought it was called all talk no action. You can't draw a red line and have your enemy cross it over and over again and not do what you said you were going to do. Iran has crossed that line several times and nothing, Turkey crosses that line over and over and nothing... at some point he has...

    They might have been needed back then when China didn't have them. Now that squadron numbers are at half strength it is time to get serious about rebuilding the IAF, not wasteful spending on something that will never get used. If it does the PLAAF and PAF will have been training against the...

    You certainly can't count on that and is a useless purchase if it isn't intended to be used during a war. The contract is $5 billion out of the IAF budget that is sorely needed for aircraft procurement. Answer this... what is needed more, 5 batteries of S-400 or 5 extra squadrons of Tejas?

    That doesn't stop Pakistan or China from training against it to learn how to defeat it. As far as Russian encryption it is rudimentary at best. Chinese hackers would have no problem getting to that source code.

    India S-400 Acquisition - News Updates and Discussions

    My only problem buying S-400 is that China will have it and give all information and practice necessary to defeat it to Pakistan. It goes both ways with IAF knowing how to defeat it against China but the Chinese are only getting it to copy which will then not be the same.

    It isn't speculation, it is what is being reported as what the Russians are saying. They haven't been paid.

    A2/AD is a system of systems, you are only referring to the anti-air component. It also includes denial of land and sea making a no-go zone for enemy forces. No Russian air defence system can transfer targeting of a missile launched from one platform to another. They must have the engagement...

    No, India has not transferred the money for S-400 yet, they were waiting for a CAATSA waiver. Delhi has PAD and AAD layered ABM defence. This is not what S-400 is for.

    That is not how it works. The type of telemetry Russia gets from multiple radars is for search only. It will have an AWACs transmitting its telemetry to the AD batteries who stay in passive mode until they are ready to fire. When they do, their acquisition radar will be activated and turned...

    According to a report, the missile with a purported 400-km range, the 40N6, is not yet operational and has been plagued by problems in development and testing. In its current configuration, the S-400 system should mainly be considered a threat to large high-value aircraft such as AWACS or...

    The problem is China has the same S-400 and will know all of its weaknesses. It is likely they will share this data with their Porki allies. On the flip side, it will also allow India to test how to defeat Chinese AD.

    The FORMER president of France has caused no damage. The CURRENT president of the US is causing plenty of damage by blackmailing India with sanctions if they don't cut ties with Russia. You don't seem to take the gravity of the situation that the US-Indian relationship is in peril.

    They were the corrupt ones making deals with USA for C-17s, P-8Is and Apaches who have failed to live up to their offset obligations. It is time to take these US companies to task, especially Boeing and make them pay. India can start by talking about cancelling all 737 MAX orders, see if that...

    I doubt it, Ambani has dropped his defamation suit, the SC has cleared it and CAG says there are no irregularities. Rahul lost running against the Rafale and now a huge model of it sits outside of Cong HQ. Now the US deals must be scoured with a fine tooth comb to find the UPA corruption and...
