    • India is what i don't get in that 3sted
    • I read that Russia provides a lot of military aid to India? But yeah disappointingyuekit
    • India buys arms from Russia. Specifically the $5B purchase of the s400 air defense system.monNom
    • I gather there's a networked element to that system that requires coordination with Russia. IE for radar signatures of stealth aircraft.monNom
    • There was a hesitancy to deploy f35 fighters in the past because the US didn't want to give the s400 system too much data.monNom
    • And a shitload of Sukhoi jet planes. Raskal is the backbone of the existing Indian fleet of planes.Nairn
    • Basically it sounds like Creative Cloud for missile defense.monNom
    • ^ Well that's evil thenyuekit
    • UK Sends aid money to India. India uses money to by arms from Russia. Uk realises it’s cheaper to buy Arms from Russia and shoot own foot...shapesalad
    • The funny thing is whenever the topic of China comes up, random Indian commenters sound like they are ready to personally fight WW3 against China.yuekit
    • Wonder how they feel that their hero Modi is now aligning with China and Russia...also Pakistan is close to Russiayuekit
    • Nationalist Indian commentators are some of the most batshit insane (and internecine) I've seen on the internet over the years. Almost UltraHan-like.Nairn

    • even from this distance the ones i know are still jumping on it like they were back home already fighting.sted
