Russia’s S-500 missile system: India to be first foreign buyer despite U.S. sanctions threat?

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov on Monday said that India may become the first in line to buy Russian air defence system S-500, if it expresses such a desire after the Russian Armed Forces receive them in the required quantity. This comes as Russia has started the delivery of the S400 Triumf surface to air missile system to India, under the agreement signed by the Narendra Modi government even as the US continues to threaten possible sanctions over New Delhi's military engagement with Moscow. The United States last month had said that it has not made a determination on a potential waiver on CAATSA sanctions for India's purchase of the S400 missile defence system and added that Washington will continue to have a conversation with New Delhi over arms transactions with Russia.
