S-400 💥 Proved its superiority by taking out Ukrainian aircraft, including possible F-16s. Deployed along front lines, it counters cruise missiles & drones with deadly precision. Three S-400 regiments are guarding 🇮🇳India's borders with 🇵🇰Pakistan & 🇨🇳China (two more are coming). 2/8
Su-30 ✈️ This 4+ gen jet decimates Ukraine’s air defences with anti-radar missiles & drops precision bombs on enemy strongholds. The 🇮🇳 IAF, with 250+ Su-30MKIs as its backbone, used these jets in the 2019 Balakot strike against a terrorist camp in 🇵🇰 Pakistan. 3/8
T-90 🛡 These tanks proved highly effective in Ukraine, excelling against NATO anti-tank weapons & FPV drones. 🇮🇳 India's 'Bhishma' variant remains a key component of its armoured forces. 4/8
AK-12 🔥 Upgraded AK-12 rifles proved reliable in close combat for Russian soldiers liberating settlements & dislodging Ukraine. 🇮🇳🇷🇺 India’s AK-203 rifles are based on this model and are being manufactured locally through a joint venture with Russia. 5/8
MI-24 HELICOPTER 🚁 🇷🇺 Mi-24s have been a game-changer in Ukraine disseminating armoured targets using hit-and-run tactics. 🇮🇳 India's IAF operates Mi-35 fleet based on the Mi-24. 6/8
Igla-S MANPADS 🎯 With a hit probability of 80-90%, Igla-S has been instrumental in downing thousands of drones in Ukraine. Russia's Igla-S was 1st used by 🇮🇳 India in Kargil against a ground target and a 🇵🇰 Pakistani bunker. 7/8
🚀 ONIKS/ONYX MISSILE Proved lethal by destroying all targets - from ships & Bastion-P complexes. Practically invulnerable to interception. 🇮🇳 India’s BrahMos, co-developed with 🇷🇺 Russia, is the world’s fastest supersonic missile with land, air, ship, and sub variants. 8/8
