Dubai, Nov 18 (UNI) Russia will deliver S-400 missile systems to India in 2025 as it has already received the first advance payment, Rostec State Corporation CEO Sergey Chemezov said on Monday.
"I do not want to specify the exact figure, but we have received the advance payment," Chemezov told reporters at the Dubai Airshow.
"We have already launched production, work is underway, and everything will be done in compliance with the schedule. The contract should be fulfilled in 2025," he said.
India and Russia signed a $5.43 billion contract for the purchase of five S-400 missile defence systems, despite US threats to slap sanctions on any country that buys from Russia’s defence sector.
