What will America do after Russia's defense deal?
Despite the threat of US sanctions, India has reached an agreement to acquire S-400 missile defense system with Russia.

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the agreement of about $ 5 billion in Delhi.

The S-400 is one of the most advanced missile defense systems in the world. This system destroys the missiles coming from the enemy in the air by firing a missile from the ground.

The range of this system is 400 kms and it can distinguish 80 targets simultaneously. Not only this, the missile coming from two launchers simultaneously can be targeted.

India's neighboring country also has the same missile defense system. There has been a war between India and China in 1962, and on both sides of the border many armies have come face to face.
In such a situation, India must strengthen its defense system. Especially with Pakistan and China, it was even more important in view of the fear of war on two fronts.

According to the defense expert Rajiv Nayyan in the Institute of Defense Studies and Analysis, India had to raise this 'danger'.

Rajiv Nayan says, "India has to see its strategic interests, it is time to get the missile defense system." America had said that if India deals with this, it can be banned, but India is under pressure I do not want to appear. "
Tensions between Russia and the United States
There is tension between the US and Russia only since the Russians took away Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Russia's alleged intervention in the 2016 presidential elections has further enhanced this tension.

The United States has banned many Russian companies. In the year 2017, the United States made special laws for the purpose of imposing economic and political restrictions on Russia, Iran and North Korea.

These laws prohibit other countries from making defense deals with these countries. But US President Donald Trump has the power to discount some countries. India had hoped that he would get the discount, but the recent statement of the officials of the Trump Government gives a mixed signal.

Randal Shriver, Assistant Defense Secretary of Asia and Pacific Security Affairs, says, "I can not tell here whether India will get a discount or not - this is the decision taken by the President, if he gets a bigger platform and efficiency than India's Russia. If the challenge comes, then they will take the decision. "

In September, when American Defense Minister Jim Metis and Foreign Minister Mike Pompey came to Delhi, he did not even announce such a rebate.

There is a shortage of aircraft at this time in the Indian Air Force. In such a way, the S-400 defense system will increase the capabilities of India. India currently has only 31 squadrons, most of them include the old Russian fighter aircraft. If India has a war with China and Pakistan then it will need 42 squadrons.

With this new missile defense system, Indian Air Force will be able to identify the threatened missiles to the country and will be able to destroy them in the air.

According to Rajiv Nayan, India already has defense systems. They are bought from Russia only. In such a situation, it is wise to walk with the system we know.

Pratyush Rao, Assistant Director of Control Risk Consultancy, says that signing this agreement of India is an indication of efforts to bring more balance in foreign policy.

He says, "During Barack Obama's regime, India has made a lot of investment in strengthening relations with the United States. Modi is now working with President Trump to endeavor to improve relations with America."

He says, "In view of uncertainty associated with the Trump administration, India has to take care of its best interests."

How does the S-400 system work?

The long distance monitoring radar monitors the missile fired by the enemy and the command gives the information to the vehicle.
After identifying the target, the missile is launched from the command vehicle.
Launch data is sent to the launch vehicle present in the most accurate place and he sends a ground-to-air missile.
The angle of the enemy's missile guides the target radar to target the missile.
Recently, US President Donald Trump called India a tariff king (the emperor of taxation), saying that India wants to make a trade agreement with the United States so that he can make it happy. This statement was not liked in India's diplomatic corridors.

A new world order is emerging in the world during President Trump's reign. It is not surprising that in these circumstances, India is trying to improve its relationship with Russia and China.

India creates very few weapons itself to meet its defense needs and is one of the world's largest arms purchases. India buys most weapons and equipment only from Russia.

Rao says, "India wants to give Russia the assurance that he still insists on it and that he is a key protector and a strategic alliance." This agreement shows that.

He says, "This is a complex situation for India because it has to maintain its diplomatic relations with both its trusted diplomatic partner Russia and both its temporary, but strong ally America."
What is pressure on the US
India expects that the US will not ban it after the deal.
