U.S. Defense Secretary Urges India To Avoid Buying Russian Military Equipment


2 minutes

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has reiterated that U.S. allies should steer clear of purchasing Russian military equipment to avoid sanctions after a meeting on March 20 with his Indian counterpart.
"We certainly urge all our allies, our partners, to move away from Russian equipment...and really avoid any kind of acquisitions that would trigger sanctions on our behalf," Austin told reporters in New Delhi.
Austin’s comment came after he and Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh discussed India's planned purchase of Russia's S-400 air-defense system. India made an initial payment in 2019 toward the purchase, and the first set of missile batteries are expected later this year.
Ahead of Austin's trip, Senator Bob Menendez (Democrat-New Jersey), chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, asked him to reaffirm the Biden administration's opposition to India's planned purchase of the Russian system.
Menendez said in a letter to Austin that the purchase “threatens future U.S.-India defense cooperation and puts India at risk of sanctions.”
The United States last year imposed sanctions on Turkey for buying the S-400 system.
Austin’s two-day visit to India is the first by a top member of U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration. Washington is seeking closer ties with allies in the region to push back against China's assertiveness there.

America has India by the balls. If India goes headstrong. No more F404 for India. Tejas won't fly. Now the ball is in India's court.

The last tweet from the said twitter account was from 2014 and has only 2 tweets, someone spent quite sometime on photoshop for nothing.

We can get rolce Royce or snecma engines, there is no dearth of suppliers for us. We don't depend on alms and freebies like some.

Street beggars have no business commenting on someone else's matters

The concept of national interests above all just seems to be elusive for some members here, explains the desperate descent into theology and the need to relate it to everyday mundane affairs. Once read a post by esteemed members here professing the critical nature of "Imaan, ikhlaas and Quwat" in fighter jets and how that above all made some more better than the rest.

Global affairs isn't a college dorm with concepts like " biradari and wafadari" being baked into it. Height of hippocracy, that those who would've loved to be courted by multiple powers now expouse loyalty in an effort to facelift their own meagre standings.

Basically, everything related to the enemy needs to be put down and everything related to allies needs to be graded up, damn reason or coherence.

First humiliation by China and now humiliation by US, India is treated like a bitch.

Yes that's why they stopped your helicopter deal and are selling us armed drones.

You must be treated like a used "protection" then.
