The recent SCO Summit shook Asia’s politics and global equation. When the world’s eyes were on the tension of China and India. Suddenly Russia played a bet that shocked everyone. Russian President Vladimir Putin made a possible offer to India. The SU-57 Fifth Generation Fighter Jet and Russia will also invest for the construction of these aircraft in India. This is not just a deal but a new chapter of India Russia Defense Partnership, which directly challenges the US F35 program. Actually, the foundation of friendship between India and Russia is resting on defense cooperation. India bought MiG 21 in 1960 and partnership started from here. In 1980, the upgrade version of MiG 29 and SU 27 gave strength to the Indian Air Force. The BrahMos missile project began in 2000. This India became the most successful defense example of Russia. India then bought the S400 air defense system from Russia.

S-400 supply on track
India is expected to give the last two S-400 units in 2026 and 2027 in 2026 and 2027. India and Russia signed a $ 5.5 billion agreement for five units in 2018, three of which have already been distributed. Shugayev reiterated that our cooperation in this area is also likely to expand. This means new supplies. Currently, we are in the phase of conversation.
American pressure on India-Russia trade
These two offerings of reduced oil and more S-400 supply have come at a time when India is facing US pressure on its oil and arms trade with Moscow. Last month, 50 percent of tariffs imposed on Indian imports by US President Donald Trump came into force, out of which he credited the tariff to continuous purchase of Russian oil by New Delhi. US officials have claimed that there has been a significant increase in Indian imports after the Ukraine War in 2022.
