الهند ستؤجل شراء منظومات S-400 من روسيا بسبب عدم وجود تمويل كاف لتغطيه الصفقه المزمعه
الكلام اتى على لسان مسؤول هندي رفض الكشف عن هويته
واضاف المسؤول بان اولويه الهند الحاليه هي صفقه الرافال بقيمه 8.9 مليار دولار ونظومات دفاع جوي محموله VSHORAD بقيمه 1.5 مليار دولار وبالتالي لايتبقى اي اموال لصفقات اخرى
Contrary to the defense minister's claim in parliament Tuesday that the Indian Air Force will acquire five firing units of the S-400 long-range surface-to-air missile (LRSAM) system between 2017 and 2022, one senior Ministry of Defence (MoD) official who requested anonymity says a budget crunch will prevent such a purchase for at least two years.
"Our priority is to clear the global buy of $8.9 billion for Rafale fighters, $1.5 billion for very short range air defense (VSHORAD) man-portable systems and $1.5 billion in short-range surface-to-air missile (SRSAM) systems. There is no money for other foreign purchases," the official said.
