I happened to hear parts of Putin's speech on New Year's day. Essentially declared Russia is going it alone and that Russia is ready for the clean cut from the West.

450 km is a excellent range when combined with the combat radius of SU30 MKI.

Elimination of surface vessels is the first objective we will need to achieve to ensure that our...

Even I'm uncertain on how this works. Modi ji did step in to finalize 36 rafale. Surely he can step in again to cut down on MRFA, order additional rafale and compel the IAF to order LCA in greater numbers.
