Times have changed. China is seen as a bigger strategic security threat for India than it was in the past.BS, Indians always redirect all the assistance they get from US/West, in the name of combatting China, towards Pakistan. Pervaiz Musharraf actually shut down an arrogant Indian journalist/ ex-Army man very well,by giving him the bean count of Indian deployments against Pakistan as compared to against China.He called his bluff and roasted him good.
India can choose the deploy these weapons (bought from Russia) anywhere it feels the need to. US has not 'assisted' India with this decision as India had made the decision to prioritize this weapon system purchase regardless of consequences. In this instance, US has merely made a domestic decision to not let the weapon purchase hinder America's larger strategic priorities.
