He made a specific datapoint regarding the super-expensive weapon system that we are paying through our teeth for, not having shot down a single cruise missile. Do you have any counters to that point instead of bringing in the sortie generation, yemen and protecting Asad (is that our use-case?). This is the Indian Missiles thread after all and we are specifically discussing the effectiveness of the S400 system in the last few posts.
It is indeed the Indian missiles thread and note that it is India that is showing interest in the missile system. Both parrikar/ns and the iaf are keen on the system ...
The Indian Air Force (IAF) recently told the parliamentary panel on defence that the procurement of the S-400 air defence systems developed by Russia is imperative to tackle possible threats from China and Pakistan. The parliamentary panel, on its part, has recommended that funds for this be made available during the year as per the IAF demand.
