New Delhi: In a significant development, the Russian side has submitted a detailed proposal to the Defence Ministry in response to the Indian tender for acquiring five more squadrons of the S-400 Sudarshan long-range air defence systems for the Indian Air Force.
The S-400 played a major role in India's success during Operation Sindoor, as it was responsible for taking out a large number of Pakistsurveillance and fighter aircraft while deterring others from even flying within 200 km of the Indian border.
