| S-500 Prometheus |
India is considered as one of the first potential foreign buyers of the Russian S-500 Prometheus fifth-generation anti-aircraft missile system after the Russian army is fully equipped with these systems. India has previously successfully acquired and operated S-400 systems, which have shown high efficiency, which reinforces its interest in the more modern S-500 complex.
The S-500 Prometheus is a universal long-range and high-altitude anti-aircraft missile system capable of hitting ballistic missiles, aerodynamic targets, including aircraft, helicopters and cruise missiles. The complex is equipped with advanced radar systems, such as the Yenisei radar, which is capable of detecting targets at altitudes over 100 km and at ranges over 600 km. This significantly expands the capabilities of missile defense and air defense.
The delivery of the S-500 to India will be a logical step in the development of military-technical cooperation between the two countries, given the long-standing partnerships and joint projects in the field of armaments. However, deliveries will begin only after the Russian troops are fully equipped, which, according to official statements, will not happen in the coming years.
Thus, after the impressive success with the S-400, India is seeking to strengthen its air defense system by including the latest Russian S-500 Prometheus complex, which will significantly enhance its defense potential in the face of growing regional threats.
