    Selling arms to India is good. Hindus have a habit of begging for technology transfer. Such gifts should not be made.

      They buy a license, China stupidly copies.
      Yes, and it’s too early to talk about the sale, if that happens, then in four years.

      First, we ourselves need to re-equip ourselves, and then think about the sale.

        If the agreement is signed, it will mean that the Indians are our potential allies, since such technologies will never be sold to anyone. And this is a strategy with accompanying binding agreements.

          Deceptive opinion. They are not allies, but just partners on some issues.

      I am sure if India actually confirms that it is a reliable ally for Russia and not as it is now trying to sit on two chairs with Russia and the United States. So I think you can provide this perfect weapon for an ally!

        This is a theory of a multipolar world, which is so exciting GDP.

        She is no one's ally, acting exclusively in her own interests. There are no chairs in principle ...

      Hindus have always been our allies. They willingly placed orders at our defense plants and never stood behind us. Moreover, India is a member of the BRICS and its economy is on the rise. Why not? Very soon we will have the S-500 for internal use. Also, I think the export version of Triumph will be with truncated features.

        Hindus, dear Nexus, have never been our allies, just interested partners. Our Allies are the Army and Navy, which are now customary to plunder, under the guise of buying and selling. How much was delivered to Iraq !? And where is the guarantee that for our military this will not apply. The same Azerbaijanis and other allies. Many experience euphoria on this basis. But this is not from a great mind, people are zombified for money. The Americans, as practice shows, can easily change regimes that are objectionable to them, and then all the delivered weapons will be deployed against Russia. So the trade hype along with the betrayal of the interests of the motherland and not otherwise.

      The most tedious traders are these Indians. They will exhaust them with all their heart, the profitability of the transaction will be knocked down to almost zero, and then the assembly on their territory will also beg for the transfer of technology.

      In any case, the equipment for export is in another modification. And if agreements are reached, then not before the appearance of the c-500 or the full transition of the army to these (c-400 - c-500) complexes.

    Well, probably this is somewhat premature because there will obviously be a competition. The fact that we can win the probability is big, the main thing is how Almaz-Antey will turn around.

    The numerous advantages of the S-400 air defense system are currently being greatly discounted by the fact that there is no new long-range missile for this system in the troops.


    it is an air defense system and not an offensive weapon to strike back.
    In air defense, the most important thing is the effectiveness of interception at different heights. The S-400 is the leader.
    Neither the Patriot RAK-3 (100 km in range) nor the Chinese HQ-9A are even suitable for him in terms of interception efficiency or range.
    The interception range of a missile defense plays a role if the complex is geared towards destroying targets in near space (you can’t lift a missile launcher stupidly above the ground), but it is enough to bring air defense systems closer to the enemy’s border on their territory.

    Just a couple of months ago at this forum, in all seriousness, they proved that all the advantages of the Kyrgyz Caliber are largely depreciated by a small 300km range. The option that the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation is not reporting to you is not being considered?

    deep delusion. The radar range is very important as you can shoot down someone else’s air target only in your airspace, but thanks to the radar range, you’ll increase the time it takes to intercept the target.
    If a country is not going to fight with someone, this does not mean that no one is going to fight with it.

    The most advanced Western Petriot does not reach the effectiveness of the interception http://www.rg.ru/2014/05/05/zrk-site.html

    As for the missile, the C-300В4 complex is already being delivered to the troops with a new missile (range to 400km), and under the C-400 this missile is being finalized with an element base.

      It is funny, of course, when people who do not understand the differences between the surveillance radar and missile defense and their energy take on air defense systems. Excuse me, what do you have (had) to do with air defense?

      Really? wassat How do you propose to unify the missiles for the C-300В and С-300П / С-400? Especially for you two pictures.

      Where did you get this?
      C-300в4 uses rockets 9м82 and 9м83 in length 8,5 and 10м and masses 3600 and 6000kg respectively.
      C-400 uses 48Н6 with a length of 7,5m and a mass of 1900 kg. Long-range missile should be in size ...

      MSNR S-400в4 9С32 suggests at ranges 150km, why does he need 40н6 and what will he do with it ???

      Be that as it may, the Patriot has real downed planes and missiles, while the S-300 and S-400 do not. You can discuss and argue about the performance characteristics, but this fact should not be forgotten ...
