The S-400 (Triumf) is a mobile long range surface-to-air missile (LR-SAM) system developed by Russia. It is considered as one of the world\u2019s most advanced air defence systems that can simultaneously track and neutralize a range of incoming aerial threats. India has engaged with Russia for the purchase of 5 S-400, missile defence system.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

S-400 are superior to other missile defence system available in the world as:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The S-400 system comes with a multifunction radar, autonomous detection and targeting system, anti-aircraft missile systems and a command-and-control Centre.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. It is capable of engaging any target over a long range of 400kms at 27kms altitude. It also, has the capacity to simultaneously engage 36 targets.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. S-400 can be deployed in 5 mins, as compared to 25 minutes taken by Patriot. The highest speed of S-400 at 4.8 km\/sec. surpasses Patriot\u2019s 1.38 km\/sec.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. While, its radars are capable of detecting low-signature targets, it comes with an electronic counter-countermeasures to thwart any jamming attempts by the enemies\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. While it is a fraction of the cost of its western counterparts such as THAAD or patriot, it can protect a much larger area, as compared to Iron Dome used by Isarael.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. It has an edge over US made THAAD, in terms of range and hitting targets beyond the horizon.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. While, being an anti-ballistic missile\u00a0defence\u00a0system, S-400 is also capable of engaging other aerial targets, like UAVs etc.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With India facing two inimical neighbors in its western and eastern borders, a possibility of two-front engagement cannot be denied. In this light even though, purchase of S-400 runs the risk of attracting US sanctions under CAATSA, it is indispensable for India\u2019s strategic\/tactical needs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
