Listen "ThePrintPod: Paradox of India’s S-400 deal—key asset delayed when country needs it most"
Episode Synopsis
On the sidelines of the otherwise contentious Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Qingdao, a quiet yet significant development unfolded. India was once again assured by Russia of the timely delivery of the remaining two S-400 Triumf air defence systems.

Indian media outlets covered the commitment with cautious relief.
