The head of the Kremlin press service Dmitry Peskov reported, Russia and India signed a contract for the supply of equipment for the Indian armed forces Russian anti-aircraft missile systems S-400. The contract was signed during the visit of the Russian President to India. In this way, in fact, a protracted Russian-Indian marathon to discuss the topic of deliveries or non-deliveries of S-400 air defense systems to India has been completed.
According to Dmitry Peskov, Indian partners signed a contract, which involves the acquisition of five regiments of Russian air defense systems. The total contract value is 5,43 billion. India will become the third foreign country (after China and Turkey), which will receive Russian S-400.
Recall, that in recent months the deal has actually been canceled due to, that Washington actually openly threatened New Delhi with the CAATSA sanctions package. This package is subject to country restrictions, who acquire Russian weapons or otherwise contact the Russian Federation in military-technical terms. American "messengers" repeatedly visited New Delhi, who tried to "persuade" the Indian authorities to abandon the deal with Russia. India has long doubted the decision, however after, how the S-400 acquired China, not paying attention to anyone, and also after the appearance of China's own 5th generation fighters, in New Delhi decided, what can not be pulled further.
