S-400 'Triumf' News & Discussion

Ask Yusuf why no engine has been delivered for this month yet? What about the 2 engines per month promise of GE? Yusuf is literally shifting the blame on HAL in defence of GE. Yet they are delivering like 1 engine every month. Even that would reach to less than 1 if they don't deliver one this month...I wasn't expecting such behaviour from him...Why this duality of standards?

He is a known American SIMP.
People used to take him to cleaners during the DFI days.
 
Other than reaction time, accuracy is also reportedly a problem with Pantsir. There's even a video floating on the internet where a Syrian Pantsir was shown getting shot at point blank range by the Israelis.

In Russian service, Pantsir is often paired with Tor point defence systems which India doesn't have. Russia would ideally like us to buy both for adequate coverage.
Tor faces the same problem...... But it at least has VLS which again are constrained by turret architecture.
Why don't they place large chunk order's for ak630M, integrated it atulya ADFCR or AMAR radars, and land based VLSRSAM system, there's already private player's who can make vertical launch unit for the missile, that would be apt for base defence,
Range....... To close for comfort......it can form part of a layer defense but you will still need a SAM.......VLSRSAM in my humble opinion is not quick & maneuverable enough for point defense.
 
Finally, India and Russia are working to acquire five more S-400 long-range air defence systems and the Pantsir medium-range air defence system via the government-to-government route. The former targets enemy fighters, while the latter engages unmanned combat systems, cruise missiles, loitering munitions and helicopters.

If we are getting Pantsir hopefully we go for the naval vairant also to replace the Ak-630s.
The Kashtan-M CIWS on the Batch 1 Talwar frigates turned out to be a complete failure. So much so that the IN ended up replacing it with the trusty old AK-630. Pantsir wasn't even designed for the ship self defence role.

I'd much rather we go for the Teevra 40 naval version of the L&T Sudarshan L-70 mod AA gun
