Watch: India successfully test-fires new gen advanced variant of Agni missile
off the Odisha coast

India successfully test-fired a nuclear capable strategic Agni Prime missile off
the coast of Odisha in Balasore on Saturday. It is a new generation advanced
variant of Agni class of missiles and is said to have several new features. Agni
Prime is a two-stage canisterised missile with a range capability between 1,000
and 2,000 km and it weighs 50 per...




Earlier this month, foreign secretary Harsh V Shringla had announced that Russia
has started deliveries of the surface-to-air long-range missile system.
Shringla’s statement came soon after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to
India.

During Putin’s day-long visit, Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov praised
the S-400 air defence missile systems deal between his country and India, saying
the United States tried to strong-arm India into opting out of the pact but New
Delhi went through anyway.

The US, which is also India’s main defence partner, had expressed its
disapproval towards the S-400 missile deal but India contended that the
negotiations began years before Countering America's Adversaries Through
Sanctions Act (CAATSA) was enacted, Hindustan Times reported earlier.

A purchase agreement was signed in 2015 and a deal worth $4.5 billion was
finalised in 2018. The US tried to stop it with counter offers of its rival
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAD) and Patriot systems. It was an offer
that came too late.



The US uses CAATSA to bring sanctions against nations that have economic and
defence ties to Russia, North Korea and Iran. It used the law to earlier
sanction trade partner China and Nato ally Turkey for purchasing the S-400
missile systems.

The US had said in November that it is yet to determine whether it will waive
those sanctions with respect to the deal between India and Russia.

The S-400 air defence system was contracted for by India in a deal worth around
₹35,000 crore and five squadrons would be provided to India for tacking air
threats from up to 400 km.

The S-400 missile defence system is equipped with four different missiles which
can engage enemy aircraft, ballistic missiles, and AWACS planes at 400 km, 250
km, the medium-range 120 km and the short-range 40 km.



IAF officers and personnel have trained in Russia on the system.
