India-Russia ties have received a boost with a $5bn deal that will see New Delhi buy an S-400 air defence system from Moscow despite looming threat of US sanctions.

The deal to buy the long-range surface-to-air missile systems was signed between Russian and Indian officials during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to New Delhi for an annual summit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.


"It means India can take out an aircraft deep inside Pakistan or parts of Tibet. The prime targets are airborne early warning systems and electronic support aircraft which would have a multiplier effect on the capabilities the other side can field,' said Joshi from the Observer Research Foundation think-tank based in New Delhi.

"It is also politically important in that it signals that India will not abandon Russia as a supplier because of US pressure."

China probably isn't happy either.

To be fair to India and its domestic problems.
It is the most peaceful country from all the nuclear powers.

Does that weapon system clean up side-of-the-road poop?

To be fair to India and its domestic problems.
It is the most peaceful country from all the nuclear powers.

Apart from the brutal army occupation and crackdown in war-torn Kashmir, the on-off war with the Assam separatist movements in the North-East of the country, the on-going highly militarised border situation with Pakistan, and the various religious tensions in the country, India is the most peaceful country from all the nuclear powers.

I don't know if it is common but if you had to poop, and your choice was between a restroom where thousands of people already pooped , resulting in unbearable stench and human waste residue on the floor , toilet seat and god knows how many germs on the sinks versus a clean outdoor area where you don't notice any human waste, which would you choose?

Yeah, of course, they are not peaceful compared an actual peaceful country like Germany for example.
But among the Warmongers like US, UK, Russia, China, and France they are the peaceful one.

India signed a $5 billion deal to buy five Russian S-400 air defense systems on Friday despite a looming threat of U.S. sanctions on countries that trade with Russia's defense and intelligence sectors.

The deal was signed in New Delhi during a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss nuclear energy, space exploration and trade.

India has requested that the U.S. grant it a waiver for the deal from sanctions prescribed by the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, a U.S. law passed in August 2017 that is intended to punish Russia for its annexation of Crimea and alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. elections.

The U.S. did not spare China from sanctions last month for purchasing its own Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile systems and fighter jets.

If the U.S. does impose sanctions on India, it is unclear how India could pay Russia for the military equipment, since the law bars dollar-denominated financial transactions.

Vladimir Sotnikov, a foreign affairs expert at an independent research institute in Moscow, believes India could make the payment in a mixture of rupees and dollars to try to circumvent the sanctions.





Putin stock surging in the age of Trump.

Exactly kill Canadian culture.

Bring in more impossible to vet refugees, illegal immigrants and immigrants that don't end up finding jobs. More ISIS terrorists too and over 10 million dollar payments to innocent Jihadi youths.

I highly doubt it, nobody has the appetite to fight a major war right now. People have it too good to lose it all. Its just natural for nations to upgrade their defenses.
