IAF Releases First Operational Video of S-400 System Highlighting Long-Range Intercept

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has released the first operational video of the Russian-made S-400 air defence missile system, showcasing its long-range target detection and interception capabilities. The footage highlights the system's role in achieving the longest-range air kill during Operation Sindoor in May last year, where it reportedly destroyed a Pakistan Air Force aircraft nearly 300 km inside Pakistani territory. The video serves as a demonstration ahead of the upcoming Vayu Shakti 2026 exercise, emphasizing the enhanced air defence strength of India.
