Following the signing of a $5.4 billion contract in October 2018 for the acquisition of five S-400 battalions, India plans to receive its first full battalion in 2021 with the delivery of all units to be complete by 2025.
在2018年10月簽署了54億美元的採購5個S-400營的合同後，印度計劃在2021年接收其第一個全營，到2025年完成所有部隊的交付。
The S-400 is one of Russia’s two most sophisticated long ranged surface to air missile systems, and is arguably the most versatile in the world with over half a dozen types of surface to air missile each specialised in intercepting different types of target at different ranges.
S-400是俄羅斯兩個最先進的遠程地對空導彈系統之一，可以說是世界上用途最廣的，有六種以上類型的地對空導彈，每種都專門用於攔截不同射程的不同類型的目標。
The system makes use of an advanced cold launch system, and is capable of guiding up to 160 missiles simultaneously and engaging up to 80 targets at a time - including combinations of ballistic and cruise missiles and all types of manned and unmanned aircraft.
該系統利用先進的冷發射系統，能夠同時制導多達160枚導彈，同時打擊多達80個目標-包括彈道導彈和巡航導彈的組合以及所有類型的載人和無人飛機。
The platform is prized for its advanced capabilities against stealth aircraft, and will allow Indian air defences to threaten advanced next generation jets fielded by China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force such as the Chengdu J-20 - as well as upcoming Pakistani stealth fighter being developed with China under Project AZM.
該平臺因其對抗隱形飛機的先進能力而備受青睞，並將允許印度防空力量威脅中國人民解放軍空軍部署的先進下一代噴氣式飛機，如成都J-20，以及即將在Azm項目下與中國合作開發的巴基斯坦隱形戰鬥機。

Vladimir Drozhzhov, deputy director of Russia's Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, announced on February 5th that Russia would begin training Indian specialists to operate the S-400 system shortly - and that the implementation of the contract was on schedule.
俄羅斯聯邦軍事技術合作局(Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation)副局長弗拉基米爾·德羅日佐夫(Vladimir Drozhzhov)2月5日宣佈，俄羅斯將在短期內開始培訓印度專家操作S-400系統，並且合同的實施正在如期進行。
India’s S-400 purchase will make it the largest operator of the system outside of Russia, and the country is expected to require more S-400 specialists than any other country.
印度的S-400採購將使其成為俄羅斯以外該系統的最大運營商，預計該國將比任何其他國家都需要更多的S-400專家。
Belarus and China each operate two battalions of the S-400, while the number of systems operated by Algeria which is also thought to operate the them are thought to be similar.
白俄羅斯和中國各自運營著兩個營的S-400，而阿爾及利亞運營的系統數量被認為是相似的，據信阿爾及利亞也在運營這兩個營的S-400。
Turkey is also expected to operate two battalions.
預計土耳其還將運營兩個營。
The number of S-400s in Indian service will thus be more than double that of any other export client.
因此，印度服務的S-400數量將是任何其他出口客戶的兩倍多。
