Big tension for Pakistan, China, after success of S-400 during Operation Sindoor, India in talks with Russia to buy this air defence system, name is…

India has reportedly started talks with Russia to buy the advanced S-500 air defense system, after the remarkable performance of the S-400 during Operation Sindoor. According to reports, India is also negotiating to purchase more S-400 units from Russia. So far, India has received 3 out of the 5 S-400 systems it ordered, with the remaining two expected to arrive by next year. During Operation Sindoor, the S-400 system gave India a major edge by successfully destroying multiple Pakistani drones and missiles. 

Encouraged by this success, India now aims to acquire the next-generation S-500 Prometheus system. The S-500 is considered the world’s most advanced missile defense technology, capable of detecting and destroying stealth aircraft, hypersonic missiles, and long-range threats at altitudes of up to 200 km and distances of 600 km.

With China operating two types of stealth fighter jets (J-20 and J-35), and Pakistan reportedly acquiring the J-35A from China, India is looking to upgrade its defense network. The S-500’s ability to track low-frequency signals makes it ideal to detect stealth technology, offering India crucial protection against future threats.

Russia has offered the S-500 to India with a local joint manufacturing proposal, allowing the system to be built in India. Defense experts say that the S-500, once added to India’s defense setup, would work with existing systems like the S-400, Akash, MR-SAM, and Project Kusha to form a strong multi-layered air defense network.

The S-500 deal, if successful, will not only enhance India’s air defense capabilities but also boost its strategic edge over both China and Pakistan.
