Good news. India among only 3 countries exempted from US sanctions on buying of Russian weapons

The sanctions legislation that was overwhelmingly adopted last year, known as the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), includes a provision that granted a waiver to countries that could show that they were taking steps to reduce their reliance on Russian military equipment. But some U.S. strategic allies, most notably India, said they needed to continue buying the S-400 missile defense system from Russia’s state-owned arms exporter in order to replace existing systems.

According to the defense bill’s summary released Monday night, the “modified waivers” will “exclude the possibility of waivers for Russian intelligence agencies and other entities engaged in cyberattacks.” Additionally, the legislation requires the administration to certify whether India, Indonesia and Vietnam can remain exempt from sanctions. That means those countries must show that they are sufficiently reducing their reliance on Russian weapons systems.

Best part is for the waiverfl there is no requirement on India to reduce transcations with Russia.

These are the only four conditions for waivers:

It requires the President to certify that the waiver would not (1) endanger the
integrity of any multilateral alliance of which the United States is a part; (2) adversely affect
ongoing operations of the Armed Forces of the United States, including coalition operations in
which the such forces participate; (3) result in a significant negative impact to defense
cooperation between the United States and the country whose government has primary
jurisdiction over the person; and (4) significantly increase the risk of compromising United
States defense systems and operational capabilities, including through the diversion of United
States sensitive technology.

Actually looking at that picture, S-400 seems to come with blue colored toilet closets it seems :lol: . India scored a major victory, securing both the air space and behind-the-bush space.

Another diplomatic win for India!:cheers:

Sore loser trolls trying to spin this around is hilarious.:rofl:

Calm down its not a blanket agreement. The waiver only allows to make purchases for spares and maintenance of existing russian equipement. No new systems will be allowed to pass. :coffee:
ha ha ha. tbh, Iran must love CAATSA, because the more effective CAATSA is, the more likely Russia is to sell Iran weapons.
