So forget about having India as friend. You are from Western Russia are not you? In one forum I interacted with two Russian members who are from far east and they did not seem much attached to West. Pakistan ultimately is going to harm. China is too. Pakistan has already replaced US as their main ally. If you think Russia can replace they will not do. No one in world is going to accept Russian bases neither Cuba nor Vietnam. With iran-US relation being normalized Iran will go after US too.
India Russia Relations
- Thread starter A.V.
- Start date
China is just using Russia. Russia is going to get nothing from supporting China. All SE Asian countries are against China, supporting China will only damage their influence. Pakistan will rather buy weapons from China as they are poor and cant afford to buy. Neither Russia can provide Pakistan huge amount of loans like China.
Best for Russia is not to forget India. Continue work with India. Stay neutral in China related things. Come to a reasonable compromise with US. US already knows China is their main enemy.

At first place, comparing India with Pakistan at geopolitical level?
@Alekssmol67
Where does Pak stand from Economy to military, tech or even political power?

Sorry but unlike India, Pakistan doesn't pay and 'buy' what they need. They depend on huge soft loans and aid which gives them the weapons they need. Russia will probably not offer huge softloans for making a Defence purchase. Whereas China will. Also, most of Russian systems have already been copied by the Chinese and will offer them for a cheaper rate along with loans to buy them. Pakistan already has the HQ9 which is the Chinese derivative of the s300 air Defence system. Now Chinese have brought the S400 and shortly will make a copy of their own. That will be sold to Pakistan. Pakistan isn't a big spender like India. If you give, they will take it. Russia will not have deals even remotely like the ones it has/had with India. I'm surprised Putin is actually going forward with this plan despite what Pakistan did to Russia in Afghanistan. Visit a few Pakistani forums, you will see how Pakistanis flaunt this and claim they 'broke the Superpower Soviets'. But I'm sure Putin knows better.

India independently defines the policy. If Russia wants to sell the weapon to China , then India can begin to buy the weapons from USA .
Any problem ??

And I see nothing bad that India builds up a relationship with USA . With whom to us to be on friendly terms and with whom isn't present let our Leaders define.
Why we can't look for new allies and friends?

The point is that Pakistan isn't necessary to us. I am sure that it becomes to anger the USA. Though now, after Trump's choice, probably there will be serious changes in our relationship with the USA

Critical India-Russia Pact to Improve Fighter Aircraft Availability
India and Russia are trying to correct the tardy supply of spares for fighter aircraft with a pact that would pave the way for local manufacturing of spares. This move should give further impetus to Indo-Russia defense ties.
New Delhi (Sputnik) — India and Russia are at an advanced stage of signing a long-term arrangement that includes the manufacturing some of the spares of Russian-made aircraft being assembled in India.
Sources say talks between both countries are at an advanced stage for setting up a logistics hub for its most lethal combat aircraft, the Su-30MKI, at the facilities of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) in Bangalore.
"Our status with Russia is much better than two years back. We have signed many of the contracts this year, very few are left. We are working on long-term arrangements including the manufacturing some of the spares in India. Earlier, there were some problems due to the need to change their [Russian] laws," Manohar Parrikar, India's Defense Minister, said.
Sources told Sputnik that delegation level talks are scheduled in March to sign the contract for improving spare parts availability including manufacturing some of them in India. Meanwhile, a significant improvement has witnessed in the availability of Sukhoi-30 fighter aircraft in last two years. "Sukhoi availability which had slipped to 46 per cent today is now above 63 per cent," Parrikar said.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has finalized a long-term repair agreement with Russian original equipment manufacturers to improve the availability of aircraft for operational use. But it takes up to 18 months to deliver spare parts from Russia mainly due to cumbersome bureaucratic process and extensive documentation.
The Indian government is of opinion that a logistic hub will further improve the availability of Sukhoi-30 from the current 63 per cent. Currently the IAF has over 200 Su-30MKI fighters in its fleet and is expected to receive more by 2019. India has contracted for the delivery of 272 Su-30MKI with Russia. 75 per cent of operational fighter aircraft in the IAF are of Russian origin. This includes MiG-21, MiG-27, MiG-29 and Su-30MKI fighter aircraft.
Parrikar has also asked Russia to speed up the supply of technical equipment for an aircraft carrier, currently under construction at Cochin shipyard, so that it is not too much behind schedule. Due to the delay in the supply of some critical components, the carrier's delivery schedule has been revised from December 2010 to December 2018. The original cost of $490 million has been revised to $2.9 billion. The delay is impairing India's maritime capabilities in the Indo-Pacific Region. India currently has lone Russian-made aircraft carrier in service whereas it needs a total of three.

Gazprom to help ensure Indian energy security from 2018
The Russian gas company will supply 2.5 million metric tonnes of liquefied natural gas to India annually from 2018. The gas is likely to be sourced from Sakhalin or the Yamal peninsula.
Russian gas giant Gazprom will begin supplying 2.5 million metric tonnes (mt) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) annually to India from 2018, Yuri Sentyurin, Russia’s Deputy Minister of Energy, told RIA Novosti on April 12.
Gazprom's subsidiary Gazprom Marketing & Trading Singapore will act as a supplier and Indian state oil and gas company Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL) will be the recipient. The companies had signed a 20-year supply contract in 2012.
LNG supplies to India can be made from a plant in Sakhalin, as well as from the new Yamal LNG plant, Sentyurin said. The first phase of the Yamal LNG project will be launched in 2017. The main consumers of LNG from the Yamal plant in addition to India will be Japan and China.
Between 2009 and 2016 Gazprom supplied India with 26 LNG cargoes with a total volume of 1.7 million mt.
At the Russia-India annual summit in Goa in October 2016 Gazprom, represented by the its head Alexey Miller, and India’s state-owned Engineers India Ltd, represented by Sanjay Gupta, signed a Memorandum of Understanding, where the parties agreed to conduct a joint study of the LNG supply routes from Russia to India.
India’s growing gas demand
India is the world's fourth largest consumer of LNG. According to Alexey Miller, India's demand for imported gas is steadily increasing. By 2020, the demand will rise threefold, and by 2030, the demand is expected to rise sixfold.
Domestic gas production in India is expected to rise to 146.87 million metric standard cubic metres per day in 2018-19, but this will only be sufficient for 30 per cent of India's demand, according to India's Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
Russian Minister of Energy Alexander Novak has also taken note of India’s growing gas demand. He held talks with India’s Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan on the sidelines of the CERAWeek 2017 oil and gas conference in Houston in March 2017.
Novak noted that cooperation between Russia and India in the trade of LNG is becoming strategic, and is being fulfilled in the interests of both countries.

Citizens of 18 countries can visit Russia’s Far East without visas
GORKI, April 17. /TASS/. Russia’s Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday tourists and businessmen from 18 nations can visit the Russian Far East without visas.
"I have recently approved the list of countries, whose nationals can take advantage of the preferential regime. Businessmen and tourists will not need to undergo the traditional procedure of Russian visas receipt," the Prime Minister said. It will be enough for foreigners "to enter their data on a special website in the Internet," Medvedev said.
"We are proactively forming the modern infrastructure and creating special regimes in the Far East; the law on visits to the Vladivostok free port was approved in March," Medvedev said. Cancellation of visa procedures for tourists and businessmen "will promote growth of investment and tourist attractiveness of the Far East," the prime minister said. The region will earn more money from tourist traffic growth, he added.
Eighteen countries from various regions selected by the reciprocity principle were included into the list, Medvedev said. "This is not because these states are situated at a closer or longer distance - we are appropriately introducing bilateral agreements on visa-free travel for those ready to use such an approach for us," he added.
According to the official site of the Cabinet, the list of 18 countries comprises Algeria, Bahrain, Brunei, India, Iran, Qatar, China, North Korea, Kuwait, Morocco, Mexico, UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Tunisia, Turkey and Japan.
