Are exports to Partners treated differently than exports to non Partners?

The MTCR Guidelines do not distinguish between exports to Partners and exports to non-Partners. Moreover, the MTCR Partners have explicitly affirmed that membership in the Regime provides no entitlement to obtain technology from another Partner and no obligation to supply it. Partners are expected to exercise appropriate accountability and restraint in trade among Partners, just as they would in trade between Partners and non-Partners. Partners are bound by a “no-undercut” policy to consult each other before considering exporting an item on the list that has been notified as denied by another Partner pursuant to the MTCR Guidelines.

Of course India is not entitled and Russia is not obligated to sell it but the point being the fact that India was accepted as a member indicates that the rest of the members are now willing to do business with India. It is a question of bargaining between the members. US notifies that it would be selling UCAVs while Russia would notify that it would be selling Kalibrs. The question is about competitive selling now rather than the deniability by the group.

With the signing of LEMOA with US, India now needs to do lots of convincing and explanation to Putin to get such critical weapon systems, its going to be very deft diplomacy on indian part

Simple.. just sign the LSA equivalent agreement with Russia too.

We are way too cosy with uncle Sam now.... And Putin isn't stupid enough to sell us this masterpiece for few bucks.

Russia wants to sell as many things as possible
They are complaining that we are NOT buying enough

So if we buy can Tu 22 ; S 400 ; Nuclear submarines
then this missile is just a small thing

Russia wants some good customers to buy their defence products than previous years due to their economic sanctions by west.
