In a significant boost to India’s military capabilities, Russia is set to supply 120 long-range surface-to-air missiles, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Moscow. This advanced weaponry is expected to provide India with a substantial edge over its adversaries, particularly Pakistan.
The S-400 air defence system, equipped with the cutting-edge 40N6 interceptor missile, is capable of engaging a wide range of aerial threats, including high-speed, low-altitude targets. When integrated with India’s early warning aircraft, such as the AWACS, the system forms a formidable defensive shield.
Experts believe that the combination of the S-400, armed with the 40N6 missile, and India’s fighter jets like the Su-30 and Rafale, will effectively neutralize Pakistan’s F-16 fleet. The 40N6 missile’s unique ability to engage targets at extremely high altitudes before descending rapidly makes it particularly lethal against low-flying aircraft.
With a range of up to 380 kilometers, the 40N6 missile represents a major technological breakthrough. This acquisition underscores India’s commitment to strengthening its air defence capabilities and maintaining a robust military posture in the region.
