India and Russia to Discuss Defence Cooperation and S-400 Deliveries at BRICS Summit
India and Russia continue to strengthen defence ties, with Russia expected to complete delivery of two remaining S-400 air defence systems this year under a 2018 agreement. Ahead of the BRICS Summit, leaders Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi are set to discuss defence cooperation, including upgrades to the BrahMos missile and other platforms. While India has diversified its arms imports, Russia remains a key supplier in strategic areas such as missiles, ships, and air-defence systems, supporting India's defence capabilities and regional presence.
