Russia To Deliver S-400 Missiles By April 2023, Says Government

Russia is likely to deliver the S-400 missile systems to India by April 2023, the government said on Wednesday.

Asked about the US pressure to scrap the missile deal with Russia, the government said it takes sovereign decisions based on security challenges facing the country.

"A contract has been signed on October 5, 2018 for delivery of S-400 system from Russia. The deliveries are likely to be made by April, 2023," Sripad Naik, Minister of State for Defence, said.
