India is likely to deploy S-400 missile defense system on the Chinese-Pakistani border.
News sources reported the possibility of deploying India’s S-400 missile defense system at the air base on the border between China and Pakistan.
News sources reported Saturday night Tehran time that the Indian military may deploy S-400 missile defense systems purchased from Russia on the border with Pakistan and India.
According to Sputnik, New Delhi may deploy a new S-400 air defense system, purchased from Russia, at Punjab Air Base near the Chinese-Pakistani border in February.
According to the report, the deployment of these missile systems by the Indian Air Force at the base will take six weeks.

Informed Indian sources said that a number of these missiles were deployed in the Ladakh border area to increase the defensive power of the country’s armed forces to counter a possible Chinese attack. The missile has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers and targets targets as far as the Tibetan region.
