The delivery of the S-400 missile system to India will start this year amid the growing threat from China. Indian Air Force Chief has confirmed this. On the other hand, Russian officials have said that the deal is progressing on its scheduled track as per the schedule. However, the US has been opposing this defense deal with Russia. The US has threatened sanctions on India over the S-400 deal. In such a situation, the biggest challenge before India’s foreign policy will be to maintain its relations with America with this Russian deal. What are the features of this missile?

National Security Priority For India

Pro. Harsh V Pant says that this agreement between Russia and India has been done keeping in mind the national security. India has repeatedly raised its security concerns with the US. Recently, during the visit of US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin by the Indian government, India had cited its security problems. He stressed that now India’s internal and external situation is not the same as before.
India is a major US ally and strategic partner. As far as the US sanctions are concerned, there is a split among American politicians regarding this too. One is in favor of India and the other is anti-India. He said that we think that US cooperation with India has an upper hand in this. This is a better position for Indian diplomacy.
He said that despite this, America will have to explain that this agreement is necessary for its security in the midst of increasing tensions with China. He said that India has to make it clear that we are a sovereign and democratic nation. We are also free to fulfill our security obligations. No other country should interfere in this.
Pro. Pant said that after the formation of Quad and Aakus, there has been a change in the attitude of America. America knows that India is facing a big strategic challenge from China and Pakistan. In such a situation, it is to be expected that the US will not react sharply to this supply.
