What has India or Indian Government done against Russia that they are pissed off (according to you) ?
I have already mentioned nation control flow their friendship. The so called Friendships are numerical equations for them. It's never one lifetime done deal.
Russians look pissed off because they want to look pissed off. The reasons best known to them. Maybe they are justifying their relationship on China's call with Pakistan using an excuse that India is tilting towards USA.
There is another conspiracy theory that Sonia Gandhi is KGB tool and since she is ousted from the power, Russia started 'Ring-Fencing' its relationship with India.
Also one can clearly see the dichotomy post Crimea invasion Russia that now it has started to look less pragmatic who used to be sensitive for India's interests.
Post sanctions they have made strategic alliance with China whom they opposed their access to central asia, heck they even opposed TAPI but now themselves selling hydrocarbons to China and in return China is demanding Pakistan's entry into their fold.
It's in gestation. I said earlier.
Calling Mi-35M gunships outdated is nothing but an attempt to downplay the start of a relationship which was not there at all.
The talk of Pakistan's poor economy by Indians has become sickeningly monotonous. It may be relevant adjudging Pakistan's many policy decisions but there is visible intent on part of Pakistan to embrace Russia at any cost.
Also my position is consistent. Either you show credible evidence that Pakistan never contemplated or Russia never discussed about SU-35 or learn to take things on their face value.
Any good strategist take claims made by an advisory seriously and start planning ahead. This is the best way out, if they are bluffing they just made the opponent alarmed unnecessarily.
TBH I had no remedy before for my concerns of Russia cosying up with Pakistan as I repeatedly asked Indian analysts to prepare for it.
@Armand2REP talked about it but I couldn't understand that This particular article that you are opposing has the best title I have read in last few months.
Again I am not being censorious about Russians neither in awe of French strengthening the strategic partnership I am just trying to explain the fluidity of diplomacy.
Now you are contradicting your own point.
