It's not really saving when India conquered whole of East Pakistan in 13 days flat.. and the Pakistani general surrendered..
Even if Vikrant has been blown up.. Manekshaw has said on record, that he assured Indira Gandhi that Yanks could not do Jack shit, in time to save Pakistani ass in East Pakistan.. and if they attempted a forced landing in East Pakistan, they would have been beaten..

What Soviet Union did by Saber rattling is commendable.. but, countries Sabre rattle all the time.. without attacking anyone.. To say that Soviet Union saved India in 1971 is more than a bit rich..
It was Russian Nuclear Submarines in Bay Of Bengal which forced Aircraft Carrier USS Enterprise to Turn Back.

Add to it the Russian Veto in UNSC

Otherwise US would have enforced a Naval Blockade on Both East and West Coast of India to cripple our economy

The Full Measure of Soviet and Russian Support to India from 1947 till as Recently till after 2019 Balakot is simply Beyond the scope of this Thread

You will need a new thread for that

Over the years in all the military forums, I have seen Indians fondly recall this era
and how Russia "saved" India during this time.
Well then, India has returned the favor by "saving" Russia, by helping Russia economically by buying Russian energy, and standing up to US pressure.. Also, helping with various sanctions evasion measures via UAE..
So, India and Russia have saved each other to the same extent .. Cheers.. :daru:

Uhh..look up Sino-Soviet split.
during this split all the weapons China was buying were of Russian origin
Chinese and Russia almost always voted the same in UN security council. so what was the split??
something created by the west to open China and their markets and cheap labor??
Idealogically Chinese and soviet union never split relations may have soured and border issues existed
but it wasn't a big deal as it would be today. Chinese used the split as an opportunity
to further their nuclear ambitions.

US Navy Sabre rattling and Soviet Union Saber rattling back is not the same as US fighting a war against India, where US Navy too will suffer some losses.. How many wars have been fought between PLA Navy and US Navy when both navies have been sabre rattling and jerking off at close proximity in South China sea for 2 decades..

SAVING is too big a word, and takes credit off Indian polity and Indian forces of the day.

What the Soviet Union did however was take India's mind off from deterring US Navy, and instead concentrate fully on banging Pakistan..

a good friend of mine in Russian military forum Vladimir says Soviet were doing routine submarine patrols
in the indian ocean ; US felt it may become complicated if any attacks on India were to materialize?

SAVING is the Right word

US ,Europe and Muslim countries
All were aware of the Genocide in Bangladesh

But instead of stopping Pakistan they were threatening India

Google about the Blood Telegram

India would have Never interfered in Bangladesh unless we were 100 percent sure of Russian help

Don't forget it wasn't just US that Russia deterred. It was also China that Russia deterred.
