That's the 90s/00s view, but I think there's a reassessment underway that Russia cannot practically extend military aid right now.
The US supplying military aid, specifically F-16s, to Pakistan has been the biggest issue for a US/India strategic relationship.
- manojlds 5y agoIt's not just about direct military aid. Russia will be the base for any trilateral talks with China when escalation happens. Russia's closeness with China also means some gains for India.
- bpodgursky 5y agoI think the opposite, India has benefitted historically from friction between Russia and China (Russia wanted a warm-water port in the area, but if China is a strategic partner, that's mostly irrelevant).
