Attempts to develop them started during World War II and first operational systems were introduced in 1950s.
India has recently completed negotiations on a Rs 40,000 crore deal to buy S-400 Triumph air defence systems from Russia. India wants the missile system to tighten its air defence mechanism against both China and Pakistan.

Our defence architecture will be strengthened and it will also improve the relation with Russia.
