India has ‘substantial inventory’ of Russian weapons, S Jaishankar explains why

Live Mint  

External Affairs Minister Subramanyam Jaishankar, unlike his recent predecessors is well known for his straightforward and unambiguous comments, often free from diplomatic sugarcoat. On Monday, in a veiled reference to Pakistan he said that, India has a substantial inventory of Soviet and Russian-origin weapons because the Western countries opted a military dictatorship in the region as its "preferred partner" and did not supply arms to New Delhi for decades. Jaishankar also stated that India and Russia have a long-standing relationship that has unquestionably served India's interests well during a joint press conference with his Australian counterpart Penny Wong. Russia’s S-400 advanced missile-defense system Denis Alipov,Russian ambassador to India, stated last month that despite pressure from Washington and sanctions from the US-led West, Russia had delivered its most modern long-range surface-to-air missile defence system, the S-400, to India on schedule. Despite warnings from the then-Trump administration that moving forward with the contract might result in US sanctions under CAATSA, India and Russia agreed to a USD 5 billion deal in October 2018 to buy five S-400 air defence missile systems.
