(Politico-Technical comment) India shares intelligence with the NSA because (presumably) given the cozy relationship between the USA & Pakistan, the US (via the NSA) is in a better position to figure out if the intelligence has Terrorism implications for either country. Last I checked, Russia was not shoveling many billions in aid to Pakistan along with F16s & other weapons systems with the misguided hope that engagement is better than outright confrontation of a failed state with Nukes. So India "sharing intelligence with NSA vs FSB" as proof of some Network effect is bogus. NSA spies on Pakistan extensively via direct & indirect methods, FSB does not (that we know of).
