India is contemplating a deal that would see it build a domestic version of Russia’s S-400 Triumf air defence system, according to an IAF veteran and top military analyst. State-owned Russian corporation Rostec recently revealed that India and Russia are in talks over the possibility of building a production line to make the S-400, which NATO calls the SA-21 Growler, in India.
“India would need more S-400 systems and is indeed contemplating a follow-up purchase following satisfactory completion of supply of the five systems already contracted for,” said military analyst Vijainder K. Thakur. Washington has threatened to impose economic sanctions on India should it go ahead with the deal, estimated to be worth $5.43 billion for five S-400 units.
Nevertheless, citing the “national interest,” New Delhi has made it clear that it will be going ahead with the purchase.
“The S-400 system has strategic dimensions. India is not keen to localize production of the system so as to export it! It’s keen to localise production so that it can integrate its other advanced Air Defence systems like Medium Range Surface to Air Missile and Ballistic Missile Defence system with the S-400,” Thakur said.
The greatest strength of the S-400, he added, is its open architecture that allows any air defence system to be integrated.
India’s state-funded Defence Research and Development Organisation has long had plans to produce a homegrown ballistic missile defence system.
