About
•Leading the defence? The Russian-made S-400 system — known as “Sudarshan Chakra” by the Indian military — grabbed global attention by intercepting and destroying enemy drones and missiles.

•With a range of 400 km and altitude coverage up to 30 km, the S-400 can take down aircraft, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles — even UAVs.
•Despite U.S. threats of sanctions under CAATSA, India signed a $5.43-billion deal with Russia in 2018 for five S-400 units. Three are already operational; two more will arrive by 2026.

•The U.S. even offered Patriot and THAAD systems as alternatives. But by choosing the S-400, India sent a clear message — when it comes to national security, India decides what’s best. And so far, that bet looks right. What’s your take on India’s defence strategy and the changing geopolitical dynamics? Let us know in the comments below.
