Sources in the Indian Ministry of Defense said that parts of the air defense system were reaching India by air and sea. The missile defense system will be the first to be deployed on the western border. The strategic location of the system will make it easier for both Pakistan and China to cope. Before India, this defense system has been involved in the armies of Turkey and China. China has deployed the system in Tibet following tensions along the Ladakh border. India and Russia signed an agreement in October 20218 for a Rs 35,000 crore S-400 system. Under the agreement, a total of 5 squadrons will be supplied to make the 400 km area impenetrable.
