Russia and India likely to ink trade, military deals
The interesting bit

NEW DELHI Russia said Monday it hoped to sign a slew of agreements with India, including military and trade deals, during a trip next month by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to New Delhi.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov flew to the Indian capital to prepare the ground for Medvedev's December 21-22 summit with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"Our discussions concentrated on the visit of the Russian president and our intention is to sign many documents on trade, economy, outer space and military issues," he said after talks with his Indian counterpart S.M. Krishna.
Lavrov's announcement came a month after India said it had agreed to buy up to 300 Fifth Generation Fighter Jets (FGFA) from Russia that it will help jointly develop and manufacture.
Experts say each 30-ton FGFA is worth up to 100 million dollars.

India is also in the process of acquiring 270 Russian Sukhoi jets worth 12 billion dollars and is poised to hand out a contract for 126 fighter planes as part of a separate 12-billion dollar deal for which six global aeronautical giants are in the race.
