“We hope that everything will continue to go according to plan. The work ahead is large based on the volume of the contract. The completion of supplies of the fifth (out of five) regiment set of S-400 is fully planned to be completed in the first half of 2025, ”he told RIA Novosti.

On November 20, it became known that Russia received the first payment from India under a contract for the supply of Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems.

The contract for the supply of S-400 Triumph in the amount of more than $ 5 billion was signed by the Russian and Indian parties in October 2018.

In early October, a military expert, the former head of the anti-aircraft missile forces of the special forces command of the Russian Air Force, Sergey Khatylev, in an interview with Nation News, commented on the statement by Indian Foreign Minister Subramaniam Jayshanqar that the United States cannot indicate to the Indian side to purchase military equipment from Russia or not.
