New Delhi, Oct 31 (ANI): With the Air Force having already operationalized three of its S-400 air defence missile squadrons along borders with China, Pakistan, Indian, Russian officials are set to meet soon to discuss the final delivery schedule for the remaining 2 squadrons. As per sources, Russian and Indian officials will be soon meeting again to discuss the final delivery schedule of the remaining two missile squadrons. The Russian side has not been very clear about the final delivery timelines due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. India had signed an over Rs 35,000 crore contract with Russia in 2018-19 for 5 squadrons of S-400 missiles of which 3 have already arrived in the country. The squadrons manufactured for IAF were used by the Russians for their own utilization, as reported by sources. Meanwhile, the DAC cleared the procurement of LRSAM after development project was cleared by Cabinet Committee on Security. The Indian Air Force is working with the DRDO to squeeze the delivery schedule of the LR-SAM. The three-layered LRSAM defence system would be able to strike down enemy aircraft and missiles at around 400 Km ranges. The system would be ably complemented by the existing air defence systems, including the MRSAM of 3 services and is already operational.
