US To Offer India Alternative To S-400s, Will Not Punish India If It Chooses Russian Systems

[nahtanbob]

Pakistan should oppose supply of advanced forms of MDS to India from any supplier. US should be made to understand that 'strategic balance' is essential for lasting peace in South Asia.

MDS is missile defense. I do not think S-300/S-400/Patriot are MDS in terms of their primary purpose.

The United States is working with India to offer an alternative to the Russian S-400 Triumf missile defence system, but it ruled out the possibility of the country punishing India if it chooses the Russian systems, Assistant Defence Secretary Randall Schriver said Wednesday.
"I think it would be an unfortunate decision if they chose to pursue that", he told the House of Representatives Armed Forces Committee in Washington during a hearing on US Military Activities in Indo-Pacific region.

"We are very keen to see them make an alternative choice and we're working with them to provide potential alternatives,” he said.

India agreed to buy four S-400s for nearly $5.9 billion (INR 40,000 crore) in October last year. India went ahead to seal the deal notwithstanding the US' warnings against it. America imposes secondary sanctions known as Countering American Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) against countries that buy Russian military equipment. The CAATSA was passed to punish Russia for its interference in US elections and its involvement in Ukraine.

"We want to work through it. The legislation (CAATSA) is not designed to be an impediment in the growing strategic partnership we have with India. It's designed for consequence to Russia," Schriver said.

Possible US alternatives to the Russian S-400 are the Lockheed Martin's THAAD system (short for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) and Raytheon's Patriot system, although the three vary in capabilities and costs.

The US is also persuading Turkey, its NATO ally, to drop the S-400 deal and purchase Raytheon’s systems.

Every country in the World wants to milk the indian cow!! Whats wrong if the US wants to do it too??

The Americans are screwed. They cannot force their lapdog too much. The Yanks fully understand that India cannot be fully enslaved. The Indian always appeases both sides.

The fact that the US won't sanction India opens the doors to Egypt and Saudi Arabia among many others who have or trying to get the S-400.. Turkey is an exception though, since it is a NATO member..

One need to have money for that ain't it? You don't see suppliers lining up for aid beggars, but patiently wait for their masters to throw some brass every now and then, for huge favors. Thank god India is not in such a situation. We are free to choose, choices are not imposed on us.

The thing about US is, they are lawyers their entire country is run by a bunch of lawyers and they make some laws up, sign papers, create groups with "exclusive" members then impose it on the world. So, India may not enjoy all the benefits of Turkey like F-35's, if India buys S-400 we cannot buy F-35 from them.

Not everyone wants to buy the F-35.. Turkey's position is difficult because of it NATO status..and the F-35 is primarily a network centred fighter plane and all data gathered by its sensors has to go to a center in the US.. Some European nations want to get their own gate on top of the common one, something like what Usrael did..others might ask just for their own gate and not to be linked with NATO and the US.. in this case India, KSA and the UAE might be able to buy it despite the existence of the S-400..

Your right we dont have money to buy the s400 air defense system!! Whatever we have is enough to keep you bharatis in your place.But than again Pakistan is not the point of discussion here.

Despite spending billions and boasting about a two front war after operation gagan shakti and all those claims about su30 mki being the raptor of the east, your netajis want rafales to save themselves ??? Ironic isnt it and your airforce is a useless force who cant even deter PAF, how the hell are you going to face PAF and PLAAF at the same time??

I dont blame US or any country because every one wants to make money and Indians like you claim India is richie rich so why shouldnt the US , France, Russia and etc milk the indian cow?? You want rafales you pay more or shutup.

Despite losing half of the country, and failing to even gain an inch of territory, you keep this bragging alive I like that. Not interested in your hoopla, the point is, money trumps every international relationship. Deal with it.

Go easy on them. They have recently been exposed and humiliated once again for sponsoring global terrorism. Their sugar daddy china had to save them from the UNSC, but is reconsidering now that the US, UK France, and Russia have re-filed a draft resolution to blacklist him, an unprecedented measure of support that shows the world supports India's war on terrorism in Kashmir.

FYI Bharat mata was ripped into West and East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh) and Pakistan taking over half of kashmir (Azad Kashmir or Azad Kashmir) so i suggest you wake up from that bollywood slumber of yours and feel the fresh air of reality.

If your not interested than why did you even quote me? I guess bharati trolling is stooping to garbage level now.

Thankyou for those kind words but NOBODY has been exposed and humiliated except of Indian Airforce and Indian Military!!

Your retarded generals were talking about two front war after a so callled military exercise like operation gagan shakti but after 27th Feb even your netajis know it was all hot air, hence they are crying for rafales to save them.

China has been a friend indeed and has helped us against you bharatis just like Israel helps you against us. So you can cry a river about China but the truth is India is a third world country not a supa powa.
