New Delhi : Russian envoy Denis Alipov stated that India’s S-400 air defense system and the jointly built BrahMos missiles were utilized efficiently during the recent battle with Pakistan, calling its performance as “exemplary”.
S-400 and the BrahMos were actively involved in Operation Sindoor
Speaking to IANS, Alipov revealed that both the S-400 and the BrahMos were actively involved in Operation Sindoor, India’s military operation against terrorist camps in Pakistan. During the post-operation tense period, the S-400 system intercepted Pakistani drones and missiles.
“From what we know, India clearly identified its targets and terrorists prior to carrying out the operation.” During the war, the S-400 system was employed, and BrahMos missiles were launched. “According to reports, their performance was outstanding,” Alipov stated.
While India emphasized that their activities on May 7 were limited to terrorist camps and non-escalatory, Pakistan reacted three days later with a military operation that was successfully defeated by Indian troops.
