India Ignores US Calls For Russian Sanction, Will Go-Ahead With Submarine Purchase

[xhw1986]

India has rejected calls to join the sanctions program against Russia during US Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit to New Delhi on Aug. 1, according to various media reports.

India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has maintained that foreign policy will not change with the new government while Kerry added that Washington “will obviously welcome India joining in with respect to [sanctions], but its India’s choice.”

A clear blow to the effort, India remains Russia’s largest consumer of military equipment and is reportedly in talks with Rosoboronexport to lease two Amur-class submarines to the Indian Navy on a fast-track basis.

According to reports, India and Russia have accelerated their defense cooperation with talks on projects such as a fifth generation fighter aircraft, an Indo-Russian joint project, are being hastened.

The Indian Air Force is also expected to order more than 200 of the twin-engine aircraft, based on Sukhoi’s T-50 PAK FA designs, although the India government has criticized Russia about New Delhi’s level of participation in the project.

We are not NUTS to dump a true friend which was ready to Go into war for us if need be (in 1971).

It's time that Russia needs India the most, & we are not the ones to shy away.

Yea I know but the level of cooperation between Indian and China is vastly different. Russian tech is aiding China more favorbably over us and in turn, the Chinese sell this tech to our enemies. Could be part of a broader deisgn indirectly to affect us.

blame that on previous govt's
We never showed Interest in defense manufacturing as chinese showed in the 70's-80's

 

[ptltejas]

And USA have been arming Pakistan...how many wars did we had with China...1 and how many with Pakistan 5 and counting.

Also Consider Chola incident and skirmish, with China.

Put your Heart on Rest, when thinks about International politics,

In politics no one is your Friend and no one Enemy.

Russia and US concern with their politics only, and by arming two enemy countries they create their power, So plz don't use heart all are selfish or in modern time term is Practical. All wants to be no 1, and ahead to other. No one believe in Vasudev Kutumbkam. Hence see what is good for you, and get benefits, don't enter in No 1 race, but yes understand others intention.

Best of Luck India

we aren't going to dump a true friend for the Yankees

 

[trident2010]

India and Russia are all weather friends and shall remain so.

 

[sancho]

Actually we should make this to an advantage for us! The sanctions and decrease of the Russian economy will make Indian fundings even more important to Russia, then they already are. The more countries decide to follow the sanctions, the less options for Russia and again the more imortant India will get. The reaction of Putin by banning foreign agricultural goods, which then must be imported from other sources of course. So besides the friendship to Russia, we also have an own interest here!
