Well knowing all this , there was no reason for Russians to offer this helicopters to us , at all . The warming of relations could have been in other fields leaving the military co-operation . But strangely they did and later ended the arms embargo too , should tell you that the relations are improving with Islamabad and times are changing .Tell me something , where exactly are you going to get the nuclear submarines , AC's , stealth aircraft , missile tech and other plethora of technologies and hardware not available for sale from anywhere else? The Kremlin isn't the dependent party , on the other hand you have to buy their hardware because nobody else will offer it , not to mention how 70-75% of all Indian equipment being Russian , the spares and technical support will continue to be there in the foreseeable future . You cant cancel that , by any chance . What you can do and are doing is not to place new orders and opt for Western equipment , irking the Reds . Hence this deal offered to Pakistan despite all the billion dollar trade and billion trade defense deals with India . Has Russia obliged to Indian concerns for this deal?
