In a big snub to India, Russia has cancelled two bilateral war games with the Indian Armed Forces after months of planning and a well-established arrangement. The move has left the Indian Navy furious over the "unprofessional manner" in which the decision was taken.

Russia first called off the Indra series of exercises with the navy late in April. Later, it cancelled another planned war game with the army in June.

The cancellation of the naval war game came as a rude shock as the cancellation came after five Indian warships reached Vladivostok. The ships were allowed to dock at Vladivostok as a port of call and then they had to sail back to India.

Russia apparently stated that their warships were not available as they were deployed in Fukushima to help Japan in relief work in the wake of a massive earthquake followed by a tsunami and a major nuclear crisis.

However the latest insult to injury was the calling off of the army exercise. Moscow said that it would not be able to host the exercise as there was little time to prepare.

Apparently, the Russian moves come in the wake of India choosing two European fighter jets as the top contenders for a $10.4 billion fighter jet contract.

Russia's decision irks Indian Navy

Angry over the way Russia treated Indian warships that sailed to Vladivostok, the Indian Navy, in a report sent to the ministry of external affairs (MEA), expressed its displeasure with the cancellation of the drill.

Sources told Headlines Today that the navy said in its report that it was upset with the "highly unprofessional manner" in which the Russian Navy decision was dispensed.

The navy recommended that a government decision be taken on how to respond to Russia's snub. The tone of the navy's report says that Russia was a "fair-weather friend", a country on its best behaviour only when it gets big defence contracts for India.

It has also recommended that the idea of Russia being looked at as a "long-time strategic partner" be given a re-look since "close strategic partners do not treat each other this way".

I thought russian and indian are best of friend?

This is incredible! It is like inviting a guest and then kicking him out. Though many indians will try to downplay this incident but soon we'll see the reaction of the indian side after their initial shock. The indians thought that they could simply play with the Russians while forming real alliances with isreal and uncle sam. This should be a rude awakening for the indians.

How do you know, they are tough.

The above incident is due to some misunderstandings ,probably will be resolved.

Indo-Russian ties have always been strong and will remain so for more 50 years or so.

As for reactions of some posters .......................well,

Of course, this is the result of a great misunderstanding on the part of the Russians. The Russians thought that india was their 'all weather friend'. Now the Russians have realised that india has always been a 'fair weather friend' and this was a rude display of their new understanding. In diplomatic terms these incidents are sugarcoated as 'minor misunderstanding'.

No amount of money can buy the trust of a friend who has lost faith!

Russians never expected to win this deal anyway. Fielding Mig-35 in MMRCA contest was just a fluke from their side.

It is not just about a deal, the Russians have started accepting the fact that india is no longer in their camp, india is in the camp of their adversary.

If its not about the deal then what's this fuss all about? Do you even know what you are trying to say?

 

[PoKeMon]

Russia and India is more of a strategic allies. These alliance doesn't work on the success/failure of a deal.

If Russia snubs India just because of MRCA deal then let it be. We had to accept the fact that we only have a relation of customer and company. But the article is merely a speculation and nothing official about it. However I personally dont like withdrawal of Russian navy once Indian warships reach Russia. They could have informed earlier.

There isn't anyway to spin this. This was a rebuff, plain and simple. Taking the Indian point into consideration it is an absolute disgrace to see Indian ships sail a fair distance to be turned back, after they docked and told everything is off. Think of things on a smaller level and you invited someone round for dinner and telling them when they turn up nothing is on and they should leave.

Shocking to say the least.

We never were in anyones camp to begin with.
