NEW DELHI: The Press Information Bureau (PIB) on Saturday debunked the fake news claiming that Pakistan destroyed India's air defence system S-400.
In a post shared by the Brics news, it was claimed that S-400 was destroyed by Pakistani armed forces, which was absolutely fake.
"S-400 Destroyed by Pakistan? Here's the Truth! Posts circulating on social media claim that Pakistan has destroyed an Indian S-400 air defence system . This claim is FAKE. Reports of destruction or any damage to an S-400 system are baseless," the PIB posted on X.
India used the S-400 Sudarshan Chakra defence missile systems to take down Pakistani drones and missiles fired towards Indian cities, thwarting Islamabad's attempt to damage military installations.
India’s Integrated Counter-UAS Grid and Air Defence systems successfully neutralised multiple attempted attacks, preventing any damage to Indian assets. Officials confirmed that debris from Pakistani drones and missiles was recovered at several locations, serving as concrete evidence of the assault.
What is S-400 Sudarshan Chakra?
The S-400 "Sudarshan Chakra" is an Indian name given to the S-400 Triumf air defence missile system acquired from Russia. The term "Sudarshan Chakra" draws from the Epic Mahabharata, symbolising precision, speed, and lethal capability, qualities that closely reflect the S-400's operational strengths.
Developed by Russia's Almaz-Antey, the S-400 is among the most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile systems in the world. India signed a $5.43 billion deal with Russia in 2018 to procure five S-400 units, with the first system deployed in Punjab in 2021 to bolster defences against threats from Pakistan and China.
The S-400 can engage aerial targets at ranges of up to 400 km and detect threats as far as 600 km away. It supports four different types of missiles, enabling it to target everything from aircraft and drones to cruise and ballistic missiles.
Equipped with sophisticated phased-array radar, the system can track over 100 targets simultaneously and is mounted on mobile launchers for rapid repositioning. The deployment of the S-400 significantly strengthens India’s multi-layered air defence capabilities, offering a strategic edge in protecting key military and civilian assets. It is widely regarded as a game-changer in South Asia’s aerial defence landscape.
