India is finalizing a $4 billion deal with Russia for the Voronezh radar system, enhancing its air defence and threat detection capabilities. With a vertical range exceeding 8,000 km and horizontal reach over 6,000 km, the radar can track 500+ objects, including missiles and stealth aircraft. The system will primarily address threats from China and the Indian Ocean region. In line with 'Make in India,' 60% of the radar will be locally manufactured. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's visit to Russia underscores the strategic partnership, with discussions also covering S-400 missile deliveries and broader military cooperation.
