Despite the S-400’s stellar performance during Operation Sindoor and its reported record-breaking long-range kill, experts warn India against over-reliance on Russian missile defense systems. The report exposes Russia’s heavy dependence on foreign microelectronics, Western software, rare materials like beryllium oxide ceramics, and even US-made PCB laminates used in S-400 radar systems. With Western sanctions tightening due to the Ukraine war, Russia is increasingly dependent on China for machine tools, components, and supply chains. This creates a strategic risk for India, especially in a potential conflict with China. According to RUSI, Chinese substitutes already tested by Russia show reduced performance, raising concerns that future S-400 regiments delivered to India could be less capable. The report also flags cyber vulnerabilities, supply chain disruptions, and declining production quality of Russian air defense systems. As India considers purchasing additional S-400 regiments and expands the BrahMos missile program, this analysis raises crucial questions about national security, technological sovereignty, and long-term defense preparedness. Watch this detailed breakdown to understand why India may need to reassess its S-400 strategy, how China could gain leverage over Indian defense systems, and what this means for the future of India–Russia military cooperation.
