India’s Acquisition of S-400 Air Defence System and Pakistan’s Response Options
Journal Title: Journal of Aerospace & Security Studies - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
India’s acquisition of the S-400 from Russia has stirred significant discussion in geostrategic circles globally. Touted as a groundbreaking defence asset, the S-400 is expected to amplify India’s military stature, particularly as a deterrent against Pakistan. However, the prevailing Indian narrative, influenced by its media and policymakers, appears to overstate the system’s actual impact in the South Asian context. Integrating and achieving optimal performance from the Air Defence System (ADS) presents India with tangible challenges. In response, Pakistan is poised to consider robust countermeasures. This paper delves into the implications of the S-400’s deployment, outlines the anticipated operational hurdles for India, and explores Pakistan’s potential counterstrategies.
