India set to receive 4th unit of S-400 missile systems early next month
India is set to receive the fourth unit of the S-400 missile defense system from Russia in early May 2026, enhancing the Indian Air Force's air defense capabilities, with the fifth unit expected by November, according to security sources. The delivery follows a $5 billion deal signed in 2018 for five units, despite past U.S. warnings of potential sanctions. India recently approved a follow-on order for five additional S-400 systems, bringing the total to 10. The missile systems were reportedly used during the May 2026 military conflict with Pakistan.
