India receives third S-400 squadron from Russia, will hit deeper inside China, Pakistan

Firstpost  

New Delhi: India has received the third squadron of the S-400 air defence system from Russia. For India, which has to deal with two enemies on two fronts in the form of China and Pakistan, the delivery of the third S-400 squadron is an assurance against any attack from Pakistan. The Indian Air Force has deployed its first S-400 squadron near Pathankot, from where any air attack from China on Ladakh, Himachal and Uttarakhand can be stopped. The Indian Air Force uses the Israeli Spyder air defence system in addition to the indigenous Akash air defense system, MRSAM, a medium-range missile defense system developed in collaboration with Israel, to intercept air attacks.
