India gets S-400 simulators, training equipment from Moscow amid Ukraine War

Amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, India has received the simulators and other equipment from Moscow for the training squadron of the S-400 Triumf air defence missile system. The second squadron of the missile system is a training squadron and includes simulators and other training-related equipment only. India is one of the largest users of Russian weaponry including major platforms like fighter jets, transport aircraft, helicopters, warships, tanks, infantry combat vehicles and submarines. The Air Force is dependent majorly on the Russian supplies as its mainstay Su30 aircraft fleet is Russian along with its Mi-17 helicopter fleet. The Army is also totally dependent on the Russian-origin T-90 and T-72 tank fleet for the armoured regiments.
