Replacement Russian C-400: India has announced the start of development of its own air defense system

The military wants to get a complex with three types of anti -aircraft missiles for 150, 250 and 350 km, as in Russian Triumph. India initiated the Program for Development of Air Force anti-aircraft missile range. About it reports the Janes portal. A representative of the Indian State Organization of Defense Research and Development reported to the publication that India's Air Force wanted to strengthen their own airless opportunities.

The program was called "Kush project" and is at the initial stage of development. It is assumed that the new air defense system will have a radius of almost 350 km. The complex will identify and neutralize various air threats: planes, high -precision ammunition, drones, as well as ballistic and winged missiles. The cost of "Kush Project" is estimated at more than $ 2. 5 billion. The whole program is not aimed at creating a three -tier missile air defense system for 150, 250 and 350 km.

The military wants the new anti-aircraft missile complex to be arrived in 2028-2029. It is noted that India already has experience in the creation of air defense. In particular, Barak-8 of the average radius developed in cooperation with Israeli companies Israel Aerospace and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. It has a radius of action up to 70 km. The authors also point out that the characteristics of a new complex of large radius will be very similar to the Russian S-400 "Triumph".
