After
incorporation of this Russian defence system " in Indian Air Force (IAF), Indian will get
more strength. There are four types of available, with different ranges varying between 40 km, 100 km, 200-km, and 400 km. It
has the capability to be prepared in a few minutes and can detect and destroy
low flying as well as high flying targets. Along with launchers, this can be
mounted on cross country tracks.
What is this projectile system?
This is most
advanced long-range air defence projectile system, It is designed to
destroy aircraft, cruise and ballistic rocket, including medium-range rockets, and can also be
used against ground installations.
This Russian projectile (Russian:
C-400 Triumph, NATO reporting name, SA-21 Growler), previously known as
the S-300PMU-3, is an anti-aircraft weapon system developed in the
1990s by Russia's Almaz Central Design Bureau as an upgrade of
the S-300 family. It has been in service with the Russian Armed
Forces since 2007. This developed by Almaz Central Design
Bureau of Russia. The new system replaced the earlier S-300P and S-200 of the Russian Army. The S-400 was developed as an upgrade of the S-300
series of surface-to-air projectile systems.
The new projectile system entered in Russian Army, in April 2007 and it was deployed first in combat in August
2007. Russia Army set up four regiments for this projectile system, which defending national airspace in the
Moscow region, the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad, and the Eastern Military
District. The units of Southern Military district
were equipped with advanced Triumph by the end of 2012.
As per record, the projectile system uses four new types in
addition to this S-300PMU system. It is an improved different powerful
momentum system. The rocket can destroy flying targets within the range of
250km.
Also found in the record that, the 40N6 rocket of
the S-400 has a claimed range of 400km and uses active radar homing to intercept
air targets at excessive distances. It can be launched against AWACS, J-STARS,
EA-6B support jammers and other high-value targets. This S-400 Triumph rocket also
launches 9M96E and 9M96E2 medium-range ground-to-air, which designed to direct impact. This can
strike fast-moving targets such as fighter aircraft with a high success
probability. The maximum range of the 9M96 missile is 120km.

and target tracking radar of the S-400 is the 92N6E (Nato Codename:
Gravestone). This radar is can be based on the Army vehicle. The surveillance
and tracking radar can be optionally
carried by the same vehicle when the S-400 battery is deployed autonomously. The
radar can detect and track aircraft, rotorcraft, cruise missiles, guided
missiles, drones and ballistic rockets within the distance of 600km. It can
simultaneously track up to 300 targets.
