It is a simple & logical one both countries are well aware of their capabilities so no need of any strategical drills But the drills should be done to strength the ties

..:: India Strategic ::.. Italy's Finmeccanica looks to expand base in India
Your Wiki source points its Russia-Soviet Union with the most naval arsenal, If you exclude survey ships and tankers, and some which are yet to come. While Indian Navy does not say anything on Nationality of manufactured-built war platforms.
I dont say that - it is the credeble source that says the following:
Why would it be rejected, knowing that both countries are ok with Naval Exercise?
Any rational person would agree with above.
most but not to the level of 70 % are russian made -just and count it

ok First time Russian pilots will be able to compare their skill with the famous Indian aces. Till now it took years for Ru AF to recovery the level of training after 90th/early 00 fall in financing. It's the most logical cause why such exercises were not occurred till now.

so If Indian Naval arm conducts joint exercise then it clearly means your arguments (of Skill issue) is not good enough!-statement by u
which i point out to improve the skills where u start with the above statment -any way it also a bloggers personal opinion
but still airforce skills are comparable.....so no use in spending money unless we aquire new skills by using other aircrafts like tejas and mmrca

this may be because, we mostly use their fighters and we are first trained by them ,so the gaining skills will less from each other
Read (above) carefully your first post, and the reason given thereof; The reason is different from above, as to why it did not happen, just because lack of funds - simple!

Ok man, this thread should die its natural death, as there is nothing into it.

had money for naval exercises not airforce so the equation is simple :
airforce skills and planes are comparable-so spending on it will not staisfy needs of airforce personals
.....naval skills and equipment are not

Allocation of funds for Navy and Airforce are not equal, one gets lesser than the other, its about budget!

I sure does baffle me sometimes as to why this didn't happen as yet, but I guess I will leave that to the IAF to decide as to whom they want to exercise with, obviously they will be having a credible reason. Wish, there was someone from the IAF on this forum, though probably a flying officer !

India is not required to do Joint Exercises with Russia:

1) As our A/Cs and Knowhow is instituted by Mother Russia, as all trainings and exercises are done pre-sales. Furthermore, time to time tutorials are received at the time of up-gradations.

2) We will never (with probability of almost 0%) go to war with a country which may have Russians on their sides (as the case may find US overtly supplying arms in case of India-paki war).

3) Its more advisable (cost effective and insightful) to conduct exercises with countries with Platforms more advanced (such as France with advanced Mirage-2000s than ours) or all together different A/Cs such as Japan or UK, or US (to learn the capabilities of A/Cs such as F-16 which pakistan posses)

i think military exchanges like joint air drills,naval drills are more symbolic of friendship between two nations and nothing more than that. it rarely helps in tactical strategies because no air force is going to share its key strategies it with others.and of course itr is a big waste of money like cwg

in past , nato countries wants their airforce to exercise with Germany coz they like to test their skills against the MIG-29

presently , countries wants their airforce to exercise with IAF coz they like to test their skills against the SU-30..

IMO defence exercises are done in order to showcase it to a third country, For eg IndoUS joint exercise was just a showcase of friendship between the two countries to put other countries on alert like China and Pak. The korean-US exercises where done for exactly the same reason this time to NKorea. Russia maybe never needed to have a joint exercise with IAF since China is its customer too .

well that's a perfect answer, well what's the use of putting an su 27 or su 30 against an su 30 they wont learn much from the exercise where they same aircraft because both of them know what the capability of aircraft is so it better to exercise with an airforce which has different aircraft and the one which out enemies has
