The United States cannot guarantee Indiawill be exempt from sanctions if it purchases weapons and defence systems from Russia, a top Pentagon official said.

Randall Schriver, the Pentagon's top Asia official, called into question on Wednesday the idea that the US would protect its relationship with India and that it will be insulated from any fallout if the purchase happens.
"I would say that is a bit misleading. We would still have very significant concerns if India pursued major new platforms and systems (from Russia)," Schriver said at a think-tank event, according to Reuters news agency.
The US has imposed sanctions on Russia for its annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which means any country that engages in defence or intelligence sharing with Russia could also be subject to sanctions.
"I can't sit here and tell you that they would be exempt, that we would use that waiver, that will be the decision of the president if he is faced with a major new platform and capability that India has acquired from Russia," Shriver added.
The waivers would be possible according to a new US defence bill, which gives President Donald Trump the authority to exempt countries.
Despite Secretary of Defense James Mattis saying he is a strong proponent of granting waivers to India, Schriver said that Trump having the ability to apply these waivers did not automatically mean he would.
India is in the final stages of acquiring S-400 long-range surface to air missile systems from Russia, a deal worth $6bn.
OPINION
Why Turkey might buy Russia's S-400 defence system
by Can Kasapoglu
The agreement is expected to be signed by Russia later this year.
The acquisition of the S-400 system would be the latest in a long series of Indian defence purchases, as the country has previously bought combat planes, ships and submarines from Russia.
Schriver stated that the US is concerned about this planned purchase, and is willing to talk to India about potential alternatives to the Russian missile system.
State-of-the-art missile system
India is not the only country buying the state-of-the-art system from Russia.
Other countries such as China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have all bought or are planning to buy the anti-aircraft missile weapon.
US military officials and politicians have also expressed concerns over Turkey's intention to buy the Russian missile system.

Saudi threatens military action against Qatar over S-400: report
In June, Saudi Arabia said it would consider "all necessary measures" if Qatar closes the deal with Russia.
Despite these threats, Russia has said the supply of the missiles to Qatar will continue, with Qatar's Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani saying acquiring the system is a "sovereign" decision.
The S-400 missile system is a state-of-the-art weapons platform with a maximum range of 400km, considered one of the best defence systems in existence.

I copied you
i am dead serious about that its one of the biggest threat for Pakistan along with MKI,RAFALE @Panzerfaust 3
If all goes according to plan, Indian S-400 will be operational in next few years.
Just like to add another aspect.
Pakistan successfully conducted the test of it's Ababeel MIRV capable missile some two years earlier.....next.
But realistically america doesnt have foreign policy. You sleep on one agenda and wake up to another
Hitler also considered his army as invincible, and this is just one example out of thousands.All of a sudden America is Pakistan's BFF once again. Spineless and gutless are the words that come to mind.
Someone should make a list of the countermeasures that Pakistanis are coming with. Such military genius, why didn't Russia think of these when designing the S-400 and why didn't China consider such counter measures before buying the S-400.
New Recruit
Bhai kon si new movie dekh kar aei ho
New Recruit
Even in such economic crisis, India is able to afford S-400 while here Pakistan is still thinking where to get next bailout.It doesn't mean we that are doing worst either. It's just a part of the bumpy road that we have to cross occasionally. No gonna affect much, just wait and watch.
To be realistic, a Russian General did refer to Agni Pankh Patils as Cows in the cockpit.
Its a fact. US navy even live tested it in 60s or 70s
