ABC

Key points: An expert says a strong Indian navy would help to "deter China from military adventurism in the Indo-Pacific" Much of India's military development has been with assistance from Russia but it is now also looking to the West India is planning to build a new fleet of 12 submarines and a third aircraft carrier India now spends up to $110 billion annually on its military, and the navy, which had been somewhat overlooked, has become an increasingly significant part of its armed forces. India wants another carrier and nuclear attack subs Dr Hall said the INS Vikrant would help India defend its interests throughout the Indian Ocean and beyond, and could also deliver humanitarian aid and disaster relief. "India has had assistance from Russia in the past, and is looking to the US and France, in particular, for help with new projects, including the carrier and submarines," Dr Hall said. India would likely need to maintain a working relationship with Moscow — even if only for ammunition, maintenance, and spares — "for some time to come", Dr Hall said.
