Interesting...All does not seem right with the Indo-Russia alliance. Despite having a waiver to US sanctions (CAATSA) and public pronouncement by senior US officials, India still hasn't made the first payment for S-400.
India claims to have an aggressive schedule, October of 2020, to start receiving the S-400. But, Russians won't be starting the work until they get advance payment. Or, will they?
Scheduled delivery is 18 months away...but Russians publicly say they will honor the dates.
India has also agreed to buy the S-400, though Chemezov said New Delhi has yet to make an advance payment, which "was a bit of a surprise," Trimble said.
