US Will 'Expel' India From Quad if Delhi Buys S-400 Missile Systems From Russia, Warns BJP Lawmaker

India's proposed purchase of S-400 air defence systems from Russia has become a thorny issue in New Delhi's bilateral ties with Washington, with successive American administrations threatening to impose economic sanctions on India if it goes ahead with the deal. Despite consistent American pressure, New Delhi has so far stuck to the deal.
Subramanian Swamy, a senior lawmaker from India's governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Thursday cautioned that the US would "expel" New Delhi from the "Quad" alliance, which includes the US, India, Japan, and Australia, if Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government goes ahead with the proposed purchase of S-400 missile defence systems from Russia.
The warning by the veteran Indian MP comes days after US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin hinted that India could face sanctions over its proposed purchase of the state-of-the-art Russian air defence systems.
"… we have countries that we work with from time to time that have Soviet or excuse me Russian equipment that they acquired over the years and we certainly urge all our allies and partners to move away from Soviet or excuse me Russian equipment. In some cases it was Soviet equipment because they bought it so long ago", Austin said during a press conference in New Delhi last week.
He was asked if the Biden administration could invoke sanctions against India under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), a 2017 piece of US legislation targeting government and private entities specifically engaged in defence deals with Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

US Has Delhi in a ‘Dilemma’: Former Indian PM's Advisor on US Threat of Sanctions over S-400 Deal
"But to move away from that and really avoid any kind of acquisitions that would trigger sanctions on our behalf", stated Austin, adding that he did discuss the prospect of American sanctions against New Delhi during a meeting with his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh.
In spite of the spectre of CAATSA sanctions, New Delhi has so far publicly resisted American pressure over the $5.43 billion defence deal.
The state-of-the-art S-400 "Triumf" air defence missile systems, touted as the most advanced of its kind in the world, are an export-quality defence product and are said to possess the capability of shooting down incoming enemy aircraft, missiles, and drones within an approximate range of 400 kilometres.
New Delhi is set to receive its first batch of the five ordered S-400 systems from Russia towards the end of 2021.
Besides Russia, only China and Turkey possess the S-400 missile systems to date.
Indians, If US sanctions you Please don't invade America we won't last 1 week against the Vedic Indian army .
Swamy is more famous in Pakistan compared to India...
The fct is he is just comparable to Fawad Chaudhry with his loud mouth and non-sense statements.
Your request is under consideration.Indians, If US sanctions you Please don't invade America we won't last 1 week against the Vedic Indian army .
Indians, If US sanctions you Please don't invade America we won't last 1 week against the Vedic Indian army .
US will not sanction them....Period.
Commenting on India’s S-400 = Instant TRP boost.
Neither USA will put sanctions on India, nor QUAD is currently a military alliance. Turkey was sanctioned because Turkish Armed Forces and Kurdish Fighters are adversaries and Kurdish Fighters and USA are allies and Turkey kills thos fighters on a daily basis as they are designated terrorists by Turkish government, plus the fact that Turkey operates F-16s which are a mainstay of US airforce and USA is afraid of one thing of losing sensitive info to Russia thats why F-35 was rejected to Turkey and F-16s are potentially compromised. Similarly India’s S-400 can “potentially leak out” Pakistan airforce’s F-16s data to Russia according to USA. Else we don’t use American fighters, only helicopters and some P8is that are converted from Boeing airliners.
Doing sanctions on India will make USA lose a trade partner, a military partner and will create an adversary.
A military partner that ceded territory to China without a fight, and got bullied into initiating a peace dialogue with Pakistan.
I'm sure USA will be dying over the thoughts of losing india as a military partner.
A lot of green eyed envy across the pakistan border.
envy.that usa has made India the long term strategic ally at dumped pakistan .They yearn for block 70 f16 can't even get used vintage block 15 . India is offered everything in usa military bar f22 raptor and with licensed production.
usa has helped build a huge it industry in Bangalore employing millions of Indians earning 139 billion in exports . let's just dwell on this number pakistans total exports of everything is 25 billion a year ..yes India it exports,alone is 5.5 times your everything exports.
what really hurts you guys the Arabs like Saudi and uae have also courted India and ditched pakistan .
coming back to s400 India will.get this now it's,too late stop it..
India will.also be the back bone of quad.
finally your China chickened out in ladakh like I predicted in August they showed they have no stomach for fighting. all your pakistan cheerleading ended in humiliation

Becoming an American partner in anything is something to be envied?
Indian logic at it's finest
Well I wish you guys stay American Partners as long as America exists and down till the last Indian.
We have already fought hard to get our country away from American influence. But bollywood won't teach you that and unfortunately most of your brains depend on bollywood for your understanding of the world around you.
But then again.
India will be the "backbone of Quad"
Why don't you Indians get a backbone of your own for your own self first?
Why did your mightly air warrior squad left Abhinandan and fled like there was no tomorrow? Where were their back bones or any bone to fight back?
will not happen. India might becomes the first countryto fly f35 and operate s400. Get this thing out of your mind. India will get a waiver.[https://cdn1]

Ask US for F35 and still buy S400. I just wanna see the outcome.India is offered everything in usa military bar f22 raptor and with licensed production.
Good political decision who took it.usa has helped build a huge it industry in Bangalore employing millions of Indians earning 139 billion in exports . let's just dwell on this number pakistans total exports of everything is 25 billion a year
They will mend the relation, but Indian market is too lucrative to depart brotherly countries. Pakistan should realise that, they way we think india is not perceived in the same light by Gulf. Pak has somehow learnt so it is like an adult relationship.what really hurts you guys the Arabs like Saudi and uae have also courted India and ditched pakistan .
Don't consider yourself backbone, else US had flown to your defence in Galwan, or in Ladakh. In the end, India has to fight its own battle.finally your China chickened out in ladakh like I predicted in August they showed they have no stomach for fighting.
In the current scenario, preparation has already been made to become a US ally on your strategic autonomy sacrifices. It is just a matter of time making an announcement India a US sacrificial goat in front of china.India is independent country , we dont care for what america or russia think , we have shown in past , we will show it in future .
