India is in advanced talks with Russia to acquire the Voronezh radar system, a long-range early warning radar capable of tracking missiles, jets, and stealth aircraft. The deal, worth $4 billion, aims to boost India's air defence and surveillance capabilities. The radar can detect threats up to 8,000 km away, covering China, South Asia, and the Indian Ocean. Under the ‘Make in India’ initiative, 60% of the system may be manufactured locally. The radar is expected to be deployed in Karnataka's Chitradurga district. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is discussing this and other military projects with Russian officials during his visit.
