It is known that the indian Army launched Operation Sindoor on the night of May 6-7 against terrorist camps in pakistan and Pakistan-occupied kashmir in retaliation for the pahalgam terror attack on april 22. In this operation, 4 terrorist camps in pakistan and 5 in Pakistan-occupied kashmir were destroyed, and 100 terrorists were killed. With this, when india killed the terrorists, pakistan was furious with revenge. With this, in the early hours of May 7-8, the skies of india over Jammu, Rajasthan, and punjab turned into a battlefield. In retaliation for Operation Sindh, pakistan launched drones and missiles targeting 15 cities, including Srinagar, Amritsar, and Pathankot.
However, the indian air Force neutralized those threats with the Russian-made S-400 air defense system known as the sudarshan Chakra. It prevented any damage to military and civilian infrastructure. With this, the discussion about the S-400 was intense. At this time, the issue of the S-500 came to the fore. Yes... When there was high tension between india and pakistan, the S-400 neutralized hundreds of drones and missiles launched by pakistan in the air. With this, there was a heated discussion about the sudarshan Chakra in this indian air defense system. At this time, an interesting thing about its updated version S-500 has come to the fore.
Although the S-400 has strengthened the indian air defense system, Russia's next plan, the S-500, is said to be ready to move forward in that direction. In fact, the S-500 was designed for Russian service in 2021 to counter threats such as hypersonic missiles and stealth aircraft. In this context, it seems that russia has offered to jointly produce the best S-500 system with India. It is said that it will be designed to destroy ballistic missiles and hypersonic weapons. It is believed that this will make the indian air defense system invulnerable. And this system's radar, an advanced active electronic scanning array, is said to be able to detect targets at a distance of about 2,000 km. With this, this matter has become a subject of further discussion.
