India: The United States can offer us nothing that compares to C-400

66
In the Indian press, citing senior officials in the Department of Defense, it speaks of the claims that the Indian Ministry presented to the United States. The reason for bringing claims to Washington from New Delhi was that the United States made India understand unambiguously the following: if you cooperate in the military-technical sphere with Russia and buy weapons from Russia, anti-Indian measures will be taken in response.

We are talking about the requirements of the United States to comply with anti-Russian sanctions - according to the so-called CAATSA Act. To put it simply, its purpose is to extend sanctions to those who enter into trade relations with Russia in the arms market and in the energy sector. India has such a relationship for many years, and today declares its interest in acquiring the C-400 air defense system.



The Indian National Security Council adopted a document stating that if the United States is talking about partnership with India, then this partnership cannot go against national security.

Former Indian Ambassador to the Russian Federation Pundi S. Raghavan:
The CAATSA act is focused on all countries that have military and energy ties with Russia. And while the US may argue that they have a strategic motive, they cannot deny that they are pursuing their own commercial goals in the first place. The United States actually says: do not trade with them, trade with us, come close to us.


India: The United States can offer us nothing that compares to C-400


It is reported that at the level of the US Secretary of Foreign Affairs, the official position was passed that American sanctions could not and should not affect bilateral relations between India and Russia, including relations in the military-technical sphere.

Pundi Raghavan:
The United States cannot offer India anything to match the C-400 missile system. But the processes are much more complicated. The United States is ready to dispute or even try to discourage a deal, with the help of such tools as the State Department, Congress, the Pentagon, and others. To try to push the interests of their private companies.


It should be recalled that the day before there was information about India’s withdrawal from the FGFA joint project with Russia - the fifth generation fighter. In New Delhi, said that the proposed Russian option can not be attributed to the fifth generation. A number of experts considered that this decision of India could be connected with the American pressure in the CAATSA format.

    India and wants and pricks and the State Department does not order. They want to sit on two chairs, but it doesn’t work out. whatNow they refuse planes, but try to buy S-400. They will haggle with aircraft or planes or missiles.

        Hindus don't look for freebies. This is one of the largest buyers in the world, in particular, weapons. And, of course, whoever pays is the one who orders the music. The buyer is capricious, each tender is accompanied either by scandal, or by transfers and re-elections, but billions are paid and all arms sellers dance around them.

          They are very looking. So we offered them that, and they cut the price and the conditions are unrealistic, they have missile assembly, and our guarantee is for life. That is, if their crooked hands appear in the product, then we will respond. On this, they burned with the French, also on Rafali made in India they demanded a French guarantee, but they sent them and did it right. With the United States, this definitely will not burn out for them, but they twist our eggs, they know what they can.

          As part of this deal, Israel will provide India with an anti-aircraft missile system ground-to-air MR-SAM, according to 23 February NRG.

          The Government of India believes that the Israeli system will be ready for the 2023 year, when all missile launchers will be distributed in all strategically important areas of the country. The decision to purchase Israeli missile defense systems, as indicated on an Indian website, was made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi "to protect the country's airspace from enemy aircraft."
          It is noted that negotiations on the deal began back in the 2009 year and were conducted by specialists of the air industry - both from India and from Israel. The Israeli anti-aircraft missile system is capable of shooting down aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and other types of air objects, as well as controlling their appearance in the range from 50 to 70 km.
          It is also reported that the military industry in Israel and India is developing a system of missile launchers of the Earth-Air type LR-SAM for the navy.
          Last November, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin paid an official visit to India at the invitation of his Indian counterpart, Farnab Mukenji. Within the framework of the visit, cooperation between countries in various aspects, including in the military, was also discussed.
          And even earlier - a year before the visit of the Israeli president, Farnar Mukenji visited Israel, who in his welcoming speech to the Knesset said: “The connection between our peoples should not be interrupted, it began in ancient 2000 years ago, when Jews landed in the western the shore of our country. The Jewish people have always been and will be a part of our society. "India has always been very respectful and respectful of Israeli innovations in all areas of life - in art, culture and science."
          It would certainly be interesting ...

    FGFA was originally for India just a way to extort our latest technology for nothing. Therefore, its closure is good. When we return to it, we will conduct work on a completely different basis.

    And in any case, the Indians will buy the S-400. For a high, good price. The squalor of Patriot is not worthless to any sane state.

    The good news is that because of the senility of the United States, the Indians with them will tear apart the military-technical cooperation. Everything goes to this))

    The trick is that India is now being inflated by Western campaigns as a counterbalance to China, giant capital is being pumped by the West to India. Very piquant dissonance ...

    Why cook up such "news"? To justify the loss of the Indian market with US sanctions? So he is lost even before the sanctions. Even with all the desire, India will not go against the United States for the sake of a penny contract with the Russian Federation, here China passes and raises its hands.
