Russian S-400, Su-57 Not Using Chinese Chips: Moscow Denies Reports, India Relieved

• Reports suggested Russian S-400, S-500, and Su-57 systems might use Chinese chips, raising cyberattack and sabotage concerns for India.
• India, a major operator of S-400, feared security risks, especially given its border disputes with China.
• Russia has officially denied these claims, stating it is rapidly indigenizing sensitive microchips and electronic equipment.
• Moscow aims for entirely domestic production of key electronic components for advanced systems like Su-57 and S-500 by end of 2027.
• This assurance brings significant relief to India, strengthening trust in the India-Russia defense partnership and future defense acquisitions.
