On October 5, 2018, India’s CM Modi signed $5bn a deal with Russia to buy an S-400 air defense system from Russia. S-400 is an anti-aircraft weapon system, uses four missiles to fill its performance envelope: the very-long-range 40N6 --400 km, the long-range 48N6--250 km, the medium-range 9M96E2--120 km and the short-range 9M96E-40 km. It is said that it is "one of the best air-defense systems currently made.

India will spend $2.2 billion to purchase four Russian missile frigates and negotiate license-manufacture of AK-103 assault rifle.
These transactions would trigger sanctions from the United States due to the passage in 2017 of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, which stipulates punishments for countries that purchase Russian military equipment. in September CAATSA sanctions were imposed on China for its purchase of Su-35 Flanker-E fighters . . . and S-400s.

The Washington lobbyists are pitching an even-handed application of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (Caatsa). Sanctions were imposed on Chinese entities only last month for the S-400 deal. So how can US President Donald Trump make an exception for exactly the same ‘offence’ even if he has the authority to grant a waiver?

  • U.S. embassy in New Delhi says that the CAATSA was not intended to “impose damage to the military capabilities of our allies or partners.
  • US like to help India to stop China’s military expansion in this area
  • U.S. fighter planes seize air superiority in sky, focused on countering ballistic missiles and Russian ground forces have never taken control of the skies
  • Russian invested more money in anti-aircraft systems like S-400 which can intercept up to 200 miles.
CHINA is selling dangerous military technology to Pakistan, aimed at helping boost the nation’s ballistic missile programme..Pakistan made a decision to invest in its nuclear capabilities because the revelations come as tensions between India and Pakistan are rising, risking a full blown conflict between the two neighbours
