Rostec state corporation's director for international cooperation said today (14 February) that Russia will negotiate a deal on delivering S-400 systems to India during Aero India 2017, the international aerospace exhibition currently underway in Bengaluru.
The S-400 is one of Russia's next-generation air defence systems which can carry three different types of missiles capable of destroying aerial targets at a short-to-extremely-long range. It is also capable of tracking and destroying ballistic and cruise missiles.
The general agreement on supplying India with the S-400 system was reached in a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the BRICS summit in Goa.

The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
