S-400 deal News
India has made concrete arrangements on the border for both its enemies. India is going to test the S-400 missile soon. This missile has a range of 40 to 400 km. S-400 is a strong air defense missile system.
Speaking on India's S-400 defence missile deal with Russia, a senior State Department official said in a conference call on Friday that this was the time when the US will be encouraging India to look at alternatives.
The implementation of the contract, signed during President Vladimir Putin's visit from October 4-5, would start in 2020 and would last for five years.
India last week inked a USD 5 billion deal to purchase S-400 Triumf air defence system from Moscow.
Amid fears of US sanctions over the S-400 deal with Russia, Army chief General Bipin Rawat on Sunday asserted that India follows an independent policy and was also keen on getting the Kamov helicopters and other weapon systems from Moscow.
