New Delhi: India is likely to raise the delay in delivery of the two remaining squadrons of S-400 Triumf air defence missile systems as well as supply of spares for several crucial weapon platforms during defence minister Rajnath Singh’s three-day visit to Russia starting Sunday.
During the upcoming visit, Rajnath will also preside the commissioning of INS Tushil, the Indian Navy’s latest multirole stealth-guided missile frigate, at the Yantra Shipyard in Kaliningrad on December 9.
The frigate is part of the expanding India-Russia naval collaboration, reflecting their deepening technological and industrial ties. Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi will accompany Rajnath Singh for the ceremony.
Another key highlight of the visit will be Rajnath Singh co-chairing the 21st meeting of the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission on Military and Military Technical Cooperation (IRIGC-M&MTC) in Moscow on December 10, alongside Russian Defence Minister Andrey Belousov.
