India is steadily modernizing its military capabilities and expanding its air defense network, entering a potentially transformative phase. After buying advanced fighter jets and multi-layer missile defense systems such as the S-400 missile system, India is once again focusing on the Russian S-500 missile system, which is at the top of the list for air and missile defense. The timing is important because the renewed push comes at a time when strategic competition is getting worse in Asia, threats from both conventional and non-conventional weapons are rising, and the global order is changing quickly. Vladimir Putin’s visit to India in 2025 has given this goal more energy by starting up talks again about buying high-end weapons and making weapons together.
This paper examines the potential benefits for India regarding a prospective S-500 acquisition, its integration into India’s overarching military modernization efforts, the anticipated responses from regional powers—particularly Pakistan and the People’s Republic of China—and the apprehension with which the United States is monitoring this strategic realignment.
