Russia has asked India to give it 120 long-range interceptor missiles. These missiles attack from surface to air. Russia has taken this decision after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Moscow. These missiles will be installed in the Russian air defense system S-400 Triumph that India has. Its name has now been changed to Sudarshan Chakra.
After getting 120 more interceptor missiles, India will not have any problem in dealing with the problems created by Pakistan and China. The Sudarshan Chakra air defense system has 40N6 interceptor missiles. These missiles can destroy any kind of air attack in the air. No matter how fast it is.

It can also target targets flying at low altitudes. Like helicopters and drones. Or fighter jets. Sudarshan Chakra has been integrated with the Air Force’s AWACS planes and systems. So that whenever an enemy is visible in their radar, Sudarshan Chakra gets activated automatically. It can attack if needed.
Can destroy PAK’s entire F-16 fleet
Defense experts believe that the 40N6 missiles fitted in the Sudarshan Chakra, the Air Force’s Rafale and Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter jets together can destroy Pakistan’s entire F-16 fleet. Its range is 380 kilometers. Due to this, India’s air defense system will become much stronger.
This system can fire 72 missiles at a time
S-400 can launch 72 missiles at a time. The most special thing about it is that it is very easy to move this air defense system anywhere because it can be mounted on an 8X8 truck. S-400 is also called SA-21 Growler Long Range Defense Missile System by NATO. It is very difficult for the enemy to destroy this missile which is capable of working in temperatures ranging from minus 50 degrees to minus 70 degrees. Because it does not have any fixed position. Therefore it cannot be detected easily.
The S-400 missile system has four types of missiles whose range is 40, 100, 200, and 400 kilometers. This system can identify and destroy every target flying from 100 to 40 thousand feet. The radar of the S-400 Air Defense Missile System is very modern and powerful.
Ability to track 300 targets in a range of 600 km
Its radar can track about 300 targets in a range of up to 600 kilometers. This system is capable of dealing with any kind of air attack by missile, aircraft or drone. During the Cold War, there was a competition between Russia and America to make weapons. When Russia could not make a missile like America, it started working on a system that would destroy these missiles before they reach the target.
In 1967, Russia developed the S-200 system. This was the first missile of the S series. In 1978, the S-300 was developed. The S-400 was developed in 1990 itself. Its testing began in 1999. After this, on 28 April 2007, Russia deployed the first S-400 missile system, after which in March 2014 Russia gave this advanced system to China. On 12 July 2019, the first delivery of this system was made to Turkey.
