Haha .. you didn't counter any of my point and created your own story. I never said we should be dependent on Russia or USA. Can I ask you one question if China is enemy then why not India do anything about billion of dollars of trade deficit with China..? At least Russia doesn't threaten with sanctions. Which thing Russia sold to Pakistan ,I mean which sophisticated weapons you are talking about..?
The best weapons Pakistan has is of American origin and the best weapon we have is of Russian origin. I think that's pretty much sums up. Chinese story is different.. and moreover I have never said Russia is Saint . The only problem is that you think USA is Saint . you really are delusional if you believe India and USA interest are align other than China. I think you are overestimating usa importance to indians. For majority of indians Russians or USA it doesn't matter to them . finally don't think that a choice between USA and Russia can be made by India. Russia would always be a valuable partner of India. I mean look at Russia India defence trade-
S400, frigates, ak203, 21 mig29 , 18 su30mki nuclear submarine, igla Sam, ka226, mi17v5, t90, ka31
Now look at us India defence trade-
C17,c130, Chinook , p8 , Apache, ASW helicopter.
You can draw your own conclusions from this.
