The ambiguity of Washington's position in response to India's decision to purchase Russian new-generation S-400 Triumph missile systems has caused discontent in Turkey.

If earlier in Washington, at the first opportunity, they threatened sanctions within the framework of the CAATSA law ("On Countering America's Adversaries through Sanctions") against countries cooperating with Russia in the defense sphere, then in the case of India, the United States for some reason did not demonstrate a similar threatening attitude.

The United States also imposed sanctions against Turkey after the purchase of Russian S-400 air defense systems.

Retired Colonel of the Turkish army, expert in the field of defense strategy and security Yusuf Alabarda shared with the Anadolu agency his vision of the situation.

According to the AA interlocutor, the air defense systems currently available in the inventory of the Indian army can rather be called primitive; in addition, New Delhi also failed to create a multi-level and integrated air defense network.

It was taking into account these factors, as well as threats from China and Pakistan, that the Indian authorities decided to purchase Russian S-400 air defense systems in the amount of 5.4 billion dollars, the expert believes.

At the moment, it is difficult to judge whether the S-400 systems alone will be able to meet the air defense needs of such a huge continental state as India, says a retired colonel.

It is also unknown whether New Delhi will be able to create a network and multi-level air defense infrastructure with systems that it has developed/will develop itself, Alabarda believes.
