The_King Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 MOSCOW: Russia has started supplying India with S-400 air defence missile systems, Russian news agencies reported today citing Dmitry Shugayev, the head of the Russian military cooperation agency. The supplies put India at risk of sanctions from the US under a 2017 US law aimed at deterring countries from buying Russian military hardware. “The first supplies have already been started,” Interfax cited Shugayev as saying today at an aerospace trade show in Dubai. He said that the first unit of the S-400 systems will arrive in India by the end of this year. The US$5.5 billion deal for five long-range surface-to-air missile systems, which India says it needs to counter a threat from China, was signed in 2018. India faces a range of financial sanctions from the US under Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (Caatsa), which names Russia an adversary alongside North Korea and Iran for its actions against Ukraine, interference in the US 2016 elections and help to Syria. New Delhi said it has a strategic partnership with both the US and Russia while Washington told India it was unlikely to get a waiver from Caatsa. Last year the US imposed sanctions citing Caatsa on Nato ally Turkey for acquiring S-400 missiles from Russia. The sanctions targeted the main Turkish defence procurement and development body Presidency of Defence Industries. Washington also removed Turkey from an F-35 stealth fighter jet programme, the most advanced aircraft in the US arsenal, used by Nato members and other US allies. Russia said it had offered Turkey its help in developing advanced fighter jets but no agreement has been reached so far. “We are still at a stage of negotiations on this project,” RIA news agency quoted Shugayev as saying today. https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/world/2021/11/14/india-shrugs-off-sanctions-risk-buys-russian-missiles/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
