    I’m surprised Russia would give these away. They must need the cash that bad. Still, I’m left scratching my head.

    Hopefully India won’t hand over the money until after they’ve received these systems otherwise they’ll be giving money away for nothing

    Unless that is what the plan is, India giving Russia financial aid disguised as them doing it in a transactional way? They’re Pro-Russia so I wouldn’t put it past them.

    Good luck with that might as well buy Russian donkeys too, Ukrainians have been hitting Russian air defenses with 2k drones! Instead of lifting a few million Indians out of poverty they want to waste money on useless Soviet tech!

  4. Out of curiosity I just looked up what they currently use. Mostly a hodgepodge of local tech and a couple of different Russian AD.

    Unironically I think this is an upgrade for them.

  5. Really? What is it about current day Russia which would make one think that their anti-drone systems are a good buy?

    Is it the fires? It would be weird if the reason was all the fires.

  6. Trump talks to modi, modi gives 25b to Russia for s400’s they will never receive.

  7. Yknow, I’m just curious, with India, what went wrong? The UK tried to steer them in the direction of democracy in the final years of being a colony, at what point did they become russias bitch.
