I don't really care. I just want to stop this:
This agreement has nothing to do with NATO. India would need to negotiate separate agreements with NATO nations.
India isn't going to clear NATO nations for logistics support within them... those NATO nations will clear India and either allow or bar India from accessing their support and facilities, not the other way around.
To support extended operations in non-local territory. This agreement could allow India to make use of US bases in South Korea, Japan or Australia (assuming they are given clearance by the local government) for logistics resupply by the US. This in turn would allow the IN or IAF to support operations such as FONOPs in the SCS, East China Sea, Yellow Sea or Sea of Japan and beyond such as goodwill visits to South or Central America or up into Europe with support from the US in the Med or North Sea and Baltics (again with approval from regional nations. India doesn't have Carte Blanche' access to NATO bases because of this agreement).
Neither India or China can support extended ops in each others regional waters, unlike the US with a vast support and logistics network in regional nations, Russia can't either. This agreement allows for the prospect of the IN and IAF to actually achieve such extended ops in non-regional air and water space, which is largely unprecedented, but again and like so many before it, is a function of US logistics support.
Such bases would include Misawa, which is a USAF basing and logistics facility (subject to Japanese approval. Given Indo-Japanese relations, this isn't too unlikely to be granted.).
Or at Doha.
And even US owned bases like Andersen in Guam.
But frankly, I don't give two sh*ts about what India gets out of the deal.
I'm interested in how it impacts US operations in the region such as in Afghanistan or the Indian Ocean and West Africa.
