The attack was thwarted
According to the report, this exercise was conducted by the Indian Air Force to demonstrate the full integration of the air defense missile system. During the exercise, real fighter aircraft were flying to test the capabilities of the S-400 weapon system. By 'locking and targeting' in the simulated action, 80 percent of the 'enemy' offensive packages were 'shot down'. The remaining aircraft aborted their mission. Their aim was to 'attack' their targets in Indian territory. In such a situation, they were stopped by the air defense system.
Name given to the Chakra of Krishna
The Indian Air Force has now fully integrated this system. Three of its squadrons have already been inducted into the force. Two more squadrons are expected to be supplied in 2026. The Indian side has requested that Russia expedite the delivery of this system. During a high-level visit to Russia, the Indian side also requested the Russian side to supply this system. The Indian Air Force has named its S-400 air defence system in a mythological reference. A symbol of destruction, the IAF had named the S-400 air defence missile system 'Sudarshan'. Sudarshan is the primary weapon of Lord Krishna.
S-400 will prove to be a game changer
India signed a deal worth over Rs 35,000 crore with Russia in 2018-19 for 5 squadrons of S-400. The Indian Air Force believes that the S-400 will prove to be a game changer for it. The Indian Defence Acquisition Council has recently approved the purchase of Indian Long Range Surface Air Missile System under Project Kusha. This development comes after the project was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Security. The Air Force has also recently received the indigenous MR-SAM and Akash missile systems as well as the Israeli Spyder Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile System.
The Indian Air Force has significantly improved its air defence capabilities in recent years. A large number of air defence systems have been deployed by the Chinese army across the Line of Actual Control. India has also deployed its systems there on a large scale.
