Russia has proposed transferring technology for the S-400 air defense system to India, allowing for local production of key components amid the pending delivery of the last two squadrons. This aligns with India’s defense self-reliance strategy, potentially establishing a domestic production line to enhance air defense capabilities. Meanwhile, India is developing its own S-400-class system under Project Kusha, which aims to reduce dependence on foreign systems. However, challenges like technology absorption and supply chain localization will need to be addressed, especially considering the geopolitical impacts of Western sanctions on Russia that may affect sourcing critical components.
