Moscow: Russia has begun delivering India the S-400 Triumf surface-to-air missile systems. The Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), Dmitry Shugaev told Sputnik in the build-up to the Dubai Airshow.

“The supplies of the S-400 air defence system to India have started and are proceeding on schedule,” Shugaev was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
