Under this, three S-400 have been given to India so far. Earlier in December 2021, the first S-400 was received by India, it has been deployed on the Pakistan border in Pathankot. After this, the second S-400 came to India in April 2022. It is deployed in Siliguri near the China border in the North East. It is believed that the third S-400 unit received from Russia can be deployed in Punjab or Rajasthan around the Pakistan border.
