NEW DELHI, 16 April 2022, (TON): Amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, India has received the simulators and other equipment from Moscow for the training squadron of the S-400 Triumf air defence missile system.

Defence sources told media “the second squadron of the missile system is a training squadron and includes simulators and other training-related equipment only. It does not include missiles or launchers.”

Despite the ongoing conflict, defence supplies from Moscow are continuing as the Indian defence forces have received shipments of overhauled aircraft engines and spares.

However, there is concern about whether this would continue in the near future as a solution for making payment to Russia has not yet been found.

A government source had told media "the defence forces have received shipments from the Russians very recently and it is still on. So far, there has not been any glitch in supplies for our forces.”

He added "however, there are concerns on whether these supplies can continue in the same manner as the Indian side cannot make payments to these Russian firms in view of the sanctions related to their banks.”
