But Modi will replace Putin as the west's favourite monster before 2024. So that is your main concern ! Yes All t...

Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV

Sanctions for S400 is not likely, as India has moved way beyond that stage and also after the Nuclear deal, such sanctions are unlikely.

If anything Indian Navy is getting pretty latest US arms P8 I, sea guardians and MH 60 romeos. But it is good to have different sources for engines.
