India Today’s OSINT team takes you inside a 3D battlefield where the S-400 drops fighters, cruise missiles and even ballistic threats at India’s doorstep.
00:11The simple answer because S-400 Triumph isn't just a missile launcher.
00:17It's a networked kill zone on wheels.
00:21Radars, command posts and launchers all talking to each other.
00:27The heart is its phased array radar.
00:30It can watch the sky hundreds of kilometers out, track scores of aircraft, drones and missiles at once, and feed that picture straight into command vehicle.
00:43Inside operators prioritize threat, fighters at high altitude, low-flying cruise missiles, even ballistic targets.
00:53The system can effectively engage around dozens of targets at the same time with the help of another set of radars for tracking and guidance.
01:05But the real trick are layered missiles.
01:09Short, medium and long-range interceptors on the same launcher.
01:14From close-in threats to targets nearly 400 km away, one battery can protect cities, air bases and critical infrastructure in depth.
01:27During Operation Sindur, the S-400's presence alone forced Pakistani aircraft to stay well outside their envelope.
01:38A quiet, invisible deterrent.
01:41That's why India wants more S-400 regiments and even the next-gen S-500 to build a continuous air defense wall over the subcontinent.
