What a lucid and down to earth presentation by Gen Shankar ! Gen. Shankar truly represents the ethos of the Indian armed forces who for the first time are being given the tools and support they deserve from the Government rather than rip off funds for the political classes !
Thanks Lt Gen for a detailed clarification on the capabilities of S 400 against Pakistan and China. Essentially we have settled the issue against Pak with S 400, as PAF will be immobilized. We have balanced with China's missile power. US will create some noise but will settle down finally. This deal is before the US sanctions came into being. US needs India to take on China and India is not doing anything anti US by buying this system in any case. So this system gives us some time to develop our indigenous capabilities for drones, UAS, missiles etc. ideally, India should play a role between USA and Russia which Pak played between USA and China in early 70s. India should present itself as a front line state against China, just as Pakistan was against USSR. This will serve interests of all the countries. Russia also will like to contain China as if India goes under, the next target for China is Russia!
anchors - it will be great if you can please not interrupt the answer being provided by the guest, once your question is asked. I understand it may be due to time constraints but in my opinion it distracts the train of thought. Thx.
China is not a MTCR signatory so Russia can not transfer missiles from range exceeding 300kms We are now signatory of MTCR and can have new 2020 400 kms + missiles included in the s400 package
we need to develop anti stealth radars....and more than that AWACS aircrafts...... being defensive in nature India needs to improve its C4ISTAR capabilities.....agree that you need bribes/commissions to protect nation but at least buy/procure more indigenous weapons it will give jobs to crores of jobless engineers/people
Dear sir, being an Indian I have keen interest on India's national security. I would request you to have a debate with Mr. Pawan Sahwney of the force magzine. His views on India China are contrary to what I hear with you. Kindly arrange a debate
Looks like Mr Sawhney has an agenda. Many times he contradicts himself - used to say 2 front war is absurd and talks about the possibility. But yes there should be a debate with him
There is an international regime by the name of MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime). As per the law of MTCR, a member country of MTCR can’t give / sell missiles, combat drones etc. of more than 300 km range to a non-member country of MTCR. Russia is a signatory of S-400 and China being not, so as per the regulation Russia can’t sell missiles of 400 km range to China. Thus, technically China have only missiles of 40 km, 120 km and 250 km range. Hence, China can track and target of only upto 250 km of range
Thank you for the info. Gentlemen. So S-400 is a System and not just a missile. S-400 Radars have the (surveillance capacity) to cover the whole geography of Pakistan and parts of Afghanistan and has the (engagement capacity) of 400 km, which pretty much covers every airbase or missile launch site in Pakistan. Which means we have grounded the PAF without a fight. That's impressive. With the steady retiring of older IAF fighters and not enough of new ones coming on-line, the S-400 compensates quite a bit for the Air-Defense function of fighters. We could focus our fighter fleet for SEAD and offensive operations in both the theatres - Western and Eastern front.
@@alikhan-ri5ye 😂 😂 Angur khate hai. With double digit food inflation and depreciating PKR, it is time Pakistan concentrate on developing their economy else there are not a lot of countries that will give bheekh to Pakistan in the coming future, evident by the fact that Saudi aid has still not come and no other country or organization is even engaging with Pakistan when it comes to aid.
@@diymechanic9498 talk about digressing from the subject. Do you need S-400 to defeat Pakistan? or Do you think you defeat china with S-400, or repel a chinese attack? which is it?you with so many wet dreams.
@@alikhan-ri5ye I guess you missed my point. India do not need S400 to defeat Pakistan. Pakistan is defeating itself with all the Balochistan and Waziristan issues and by legitimizing terrorist groups. Dwindling economy, debt, etc… On China, S400 is just another tool to counter balance. There are many more that will come from both side as part of this arms race. For Pakistan it is blessing in disguise that they are not part of this race because they can’t afford it.
@@diymechanic9498 lol So you think S400 will stop Pakistan from defending itself,against indian aggression like in balakot? Or you think you are china's competitor,and attack china with s400, or fend off a chinese attack with s400.comeon wet dreamer.
Such clear thinking and analysis, Many Thanks, Amitabh and Lt Gen Shankar. I just want to highlight this: with Maths and Software, Russians are top class. They would not need, neither would they have taken low quality Chinese software. Probably only Israel can match the Russians...
LT .GEN. Shakar Sir..Good afternoon.. with all respect .one doubt ...imagin .if china send Thousands Armed drawns at a time what will be our way to defend ??? Is it possible us to destroy all the drawns by our laser weapons...??? Or some other weapons is being devoloped by DRDO.?
QUAD/AUKUS like India because you keep your agreements with your partners (including Russia), you develop your own technology, you don't proliferate missile and nuclear technology, you seek a peaceful world, and you are willing to assist countries in the Indian Ocean region. US does not want countries who have the S-300, S-400 and future S-500 system to also have advanced western aircraft. A western aircraft married to a Russian air defence system would see critical information about the western aircraft pass to the Russian suppliers of the S-400 system, who would then use it to better detect western aircraft. India developing its own 5th and 6th gen fighter aircraft. We note that India has reduced its supply of military hardware from Russia as you develop your own technology. So everything going in the right direction from a western perspective. We recognise the US sold jets and air defence systems (??) to Pakistan, and Pakistan has used them against western interests (not western countries). The benefits of the S-400 system to India should be supported by western countries.
Hi Guys Indian S400 has an edge over Chinese one , ours his 400 km range missile whereas chinese S400 has only range of 300km due to they have not some world wide arrangement so Russian has supplied Chinese S400 with 300 km range missile not 400km , I don't what this Lt.gen is comparing without knowing the basic missile range what india got over china
Why Gandhi gave call to fight for British with Indian blood and lives in World war 1 and 2???? Why Gandhi didn't think non violence and peace talk will work for world wars to stop and peace?? Why Gandhi felt better for Indian blood for British colonial ambitiion and empire preservation than Indian independence?? Why Gandhi didn't try non violence and peace talk with Hitler and impress all ??? Did Gandih know it was not practical,so asked Indians to fight for british in world war 1 and world war 2?? Was Gandhi a British Mole in the garb of Indian freedom fighter???
Pakistan has purchased Chinese Air Defence system to counter our S-400 system or to be at par with it. How successful will Pakistan be with Chinese system ?
Govt should promote weapons research in India. Number of university and seats should multiplied multiple fold to facilitate drone and swarm drone research. Future is not physical fight between soldier but technology
How it is good against Chinese bombers H6 series of bombers? Also against the DF series or missiles. Wouldn't a David Sling missile system will compliment S400?
India wanted to learn those long range radar system which can be integrated to Indian missile defence system. India's radar developing capacity is still far behind China n Russia. Hence the S400. Pure missile capacity: India already has. It is RADARs which is heart of Missile defence which India lagged at the moment.
A famous saying Indian soldiers are best and Pakistani officer are best , our officer of great ranks sell us and there soldiers run away from war field
If both we and china have the s-400 , doesnt that neutralise our air superiority? We neutralizing their air power doesnt matter as we had superiority any way
We buy S400 then we will buy S500 then S600 and so on so forth...How many? When will we develop our system? Russia will let you down when her interest is different and rival yours and mind you its coming.
It all depends upon the version of S-300, it's a layered air defence system. So don't fool yourself by comparing your adversaries with Israeli's. Be cautious here, Paksitabi's are the only air force pilots that have a sizable number of kills against Israeli's. It's about the men and machine combo that is also true for air defence systems.
S400 is not a game changer between India and China. While S400 is the perfect air defense for Russia against NATO which has many F35 but no hypersonic missiles. But an Indian S400 is vulnerable to Chinese hypersonic missiles like DF21 or DF17/ZF-HGV which will lock onto S400 radar signal from hundreds of km away. Once the main radar (91n6E) is lost whatever is left of the regiment becomes useless. So S400 will not denial air space to China. However the S400s would certainly threaten Pakistan ... that is if China does not give them hypersonic missiles.
@@joem0088 ok smart guy, just search google for Shourya missile, you will find all the details, Chinese s400 will be sitting ducks on the Tibetan plains. On other hand India has the advantage of the mountains to hide it's assets. So don't be so naive
@@007skumarajay Sorry, all reports on Shaurya missile are Indian sources, with no foreign confirmation. In India it's hard to tell what is real. After Balakot IAF insisted they shot down a Pak F16. With no proof, not 1 single piece of wreckage. PAk accounted for every F16 they had with 0 missing. Every foreign sources have called it untrue but India keep repeating ad infinitum as if repeating it for 10 years makes it true. So if you want me to believe you, a foreign sensor captured missile flight data is necessary. Foreign presses do not report India as having inducted any hypersonic missiles. Only Russia and China have them operational.
In this S400 deals of 5.2 billion how much is going women pocket will come to light after some years , we tac payer only suffer and we common only love the country
No doubt S-400 is a state-of-the-art missile system and both China and India have these systems. Mind you, China is making its own version of S-400, reverse engineered, perhaps. So, India can't match China even in the Ladakh area. India will need a few years to integrate its S-400 system into its air defence net. Chinese may probably overwhelm Indian S-400 batteried with guided rockets and then they will send their missiles and air force into Indian territory. Peaceful coexistence and negotiation with China is the only option India has and will have in a foreseeable future. Does not really matter what India acquires, it may be able to win a tactical battle, not a strategic scenario with China.
@@satheesankrishnan4831 My friend, peace talks with China, it does not really matter how long it would take you to realize. Negotiation with China is the only way forward for India, China and the region. You are talking about more than 40% of the world population here, peace and peaceful resolutions of all outstanding issues is the only way forward.
One more expensive arms acquisition, which will be a Republic Day parade display & will never be used. Galwan skirmish was with hands & crude baseball bat's with nails on them.
