‘New Deliveries’: Russia in Talks to Supply More S-400 Missile Systems, Cheaper Oil to India
India continues to seek enhanced air defense capabilities from Russia despite delivery delays; Russia supplied 36% of India’s arms imports between 2020-2024, according to SIPRI.
- On Tuesday, Russian defence export chief Dmitry Shugayev told TASS that Russia is negotiating additional S-400 surface-to-air missile system deliveries to India, saying `India already has our S-400 system` and `we are in the negotiation stage`.
- The 2018 agreement for five S-400s, valued at $5.5 billion, delivered three units so far, with the final two delayed until 2026 and 2027, TASS cited.
- Technical details show the S-400 air defence system combines multi-function radar, mobile launchers, and command systems to locate targets at 600 kilometres and destroy them at 400 kilometres, with India's three systems credited in Operation Sindoor.
- With pressure mounting, India and Russia have deepened defence talks amid U.S. tariffs last month, including a 25% levy targeting India's Russian oil trade, heightening bilateral tensions.
- SIPRI data show Russia accounted for 36% of India's weapons imports between 2020 and 2024, with New Delhi saying S-400 buys counter China and deepen India-Russia defence cooperation.
