Russia, US in battle to supply India its armoury
The two erstwhile bitter Cold War rivals have now taken to brandishing their support for Modi's 'Make in India' policy.
NEW DELHI: Wooing of the world's biggest arms importer continues unabashedly. Just before US President Barack Obama touches down in New Delhi on January 24, Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu will be town to further boost military cooperation with India.
With India trying to claw out of its embarrassing and strategically-vulnerable position of still importing around 65% of its military requirements, the two erstwhile bitter Cold War rivals have now taken to brandishing their support for Modi's 'Make in India' policy. Both promise an effortless and fruitful transition from the existing buyer-seller relationship to co-development and co-production of top-notch weapon systems.
The new 10-year defence framework to be inked during Obama's visit will incorporate the Defence Trade and Technology Initiative (DTTI), which the US promises will help strengthen India's fledgling defence industrial base, as earlier reported by TOI.
