Russia Says Discussing Production Of S-400 Missiles In India: Report

“Yes, we are discussing the localization of S-400 production with India as well,” Mr Chemezov told the RBK broadcaster, adding that India has already acquired the license for the production of the Su-30 fighter jet and the T-90 tank, Sputnik reported. India had signed a $5.43 billion-deal with Russia for the purchase of five S-400s during the 19th India-Russia Annual Bilateral Summit in New Delhi in October last year, which Washington had indicated may trigger Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) sanctions.

Moscow: Moscow is holding talks with New Delhi on starting the production of S-400 Air Defense Systems in India, CEO of Russia’s Rostec state corporation Sergey Chemezov said on Sunday.

“Yes, we are discussing the localization of S-400 production with India as well,” Mr Chemezov told the RBK broadcaster, adding that India has already acquired the license for the production of the Su-30 fighter jet and the T-90 tank, Sputnik reported.

“We have developed the BrahMos missiles with India–on their territory and together with their scientists,” Mr Chemezov added.
