Now we r becoming quite habitual of ur excellency....u deliver something different in every analysis and sets a new banchmark for yourself also....The way you articulate India's need for caution and incremental diplomacy amidst this complex landscape is commendable...... ur analysis not only offers clarity but also sparks constructive dialogue on how India can recalibrate its defense and strategic policies effectively. Excellent work, as always
Gr8 analysis. So the dilemma that Europe faces in the oil market with respect to the India-Russia relationship is similar to the dilemma that India faces in the defence market with respect to the Russia-China relationship.
I have heard from a Finnish friend that during WW II Russia occupied Finland. Russians forced the Finns to develop metallurgical technology to support Russian needs for submarine production etc. Russian occupation was a blessing in disguise for Finland. Today Finland enjoys a special position in the marine world through companies like Wartsila. Companies such as ABB leverage the talent of the Finns in the area of azimuthing thrusters for wide range of vessels. India can easily get to this spot with proper strategy with the talent pool we have. In summary Russians owe to its neighbors a lot for whatever might it enjoys today. Its current strategies are bound to boomerang.
I wonder why media persons are continually advising the Givernment instead of just presenting the alternatives in a palatable language. She should have also added that since a decade Indian already doing trying to indigenise. She also fails to say that it should done this since 1950s. It can’t happen overnight…
Perfect. They think they are god. They a bunch of hypocrites. The lady wore a body in picture of the video. In actual video she does not wear bindi. She seems to be swara bhaskar types....
Ignore Russia and go for USA, Israel, Europe, France, Germany, Sweden instead. Russian defence equipments are poor. Also propagate Make in India. Turkey is advancing alarmingly which is a threat for India.
This analysis is impressively thorough, connecting historical context, ongoing geopolitical shifts, and the intricacies of defense procurement in a way that’s rarely covered in mainstream discussions. The nuanced look at the India-Russia relationship, especially amid the Ukraine conflict and China’s growing influence, sheds light on layers of interdependence and strategic dilemmas that are easy to overlook. It’s refreshing to see the complexities of sourcing critical military components-from both Russia and Ukraine-addressed head-on. Still, while the commentary is commendably data-driven and multifaceted, it could benefit from a bit more exploration of how India might practically accelerate its domestic defense manufacturing capabilities. Nonetheless, the piece’s balanced realism and acknowledgment of “shades of gray” in geopolitics make it a valuable contribution to understanding India’s evolving position on the global stage.
This video will be painful for Andhbhakts who are blatantly supporting Russia 🇷🇺 in this war 😂😂😂😂 Reality is that India has now more stakes in Ukraine 🇺🇦 than Russia. Because Bharat Forge had bought stakes in Ukrainian Company and India had not signed any new deals with Russia 🇷🇺. Why do Bhakts always end up on the wrong side ??
"..After many years HAL has developed the capability to OVERHAUL Mig29 engine" ...arrey ladoo banto yaar...ek nariyal phodo..after 75 year of independence cant even make a f'king gas turbine engine ..
It's not easy to make a gas turbine for military aircraft. Very advanced metallurgy is required. America developed that in 1930s itself, and it's highly classified. China is trying hard, but they are nowhere near the Americans. And they try to do espionage of these technologies. India can't develop from scratch, without technology transfer, and we obviously don't do espionage.
Sir the centerpiecing of this relation ship is that Russia is our time tested friend and is only friend of Bharat except North Korea. Mr Putin bhai he sending us so much cheep oil and coal making our India the only country in the world profiting from war crimings of lord Putin this why we India his most humbling friend ally and servant! JAI SHREE PUTIN!!!
Defence cooperation is deeply entrenched in geopolitics. USA’s non-cooperation in providing India with military hardware to modernise its Air-Force and Army will force India to be dependent on Russia even after breakdown of USSR and Ukraine-Russia conflict
US is willing to supply but India is not keen due to cost and fear of future sanctions. Russia is unable to win a war with Ukraine decisively. That tells a lot about their hardware.
Sitting on the fence eventually hurts more .... I don't think geopolitics will allow India the luxury of sitting pretty on their high-horse in a series of transactional relationships under the shades of friendships forged with an Empire that is now struggling not to be a vassal state to China. India, in the end, is not China, the U.S. or even the E.U. It will be forced, with the likelihood of military and trade wars, to pick a side - the same as everyone else. (Then double-deal in private like the west does - the war doesn't stop things being bought and sold between Russia and the west).
Procuring weapons from US is also fraught with issues. They try to run your war through the prism of their domestic politics and geopolitical inerests, like you are a vassal state. Ask Kuleba, Zelensky and Netanyahu.
As you rightly said ,it is easier said than done. However we will clearly navigate the voyage though at times it looks turbulent. The missing thilak from your forehead is disappointing. Well done Swasti ji. Vande Mataram 👍.
Digital sovereignty is needed.... India need their own OS or the West will cripple India in the time of crisis. " China is removing Windows systems and x86 chips to achieve full independence in software & hardware! "
India has been maintaining as close relationship as possible with Russia, and this is how far our policy got us to. We have been accusing the USA for not being helpful to our cause in the past. But what can they do in this age of polarisation? We can not have the best of both sides. Our refusal to commit ourselves to either sides may ultimately cost us dearly.
Madam, Self-dependence is the solution, therefore, government of India has launched campaign like make in India and made by India. Yes, it will take time but we're on right direction. 2. Presently we are taking weapons from many countries, and the reason being to avoid dependence on one country. 3. Lastly, government of India is doing excellent job, in fact, no government since independence has done the job so perfectly as is being done by the present government. Anti-nationals who were in power indulged in corruption in every defence deal. Boforce is one example.

Really good analysis, but heavily skewed by not having full information, long-tern views and personal bias definitely coming in to the picture, even though being patriotic. As an example you mention Ukraine as a manufacturer, remember that it is Soviet tech with companies being in Ukraine as legal entities, after the fall of USSR. Par se Ukrainians haven't developed any new tech in past decades, be in turbine engines or the mentioned Antonov planes. Russia proffered them to be manufactured in Ukraine - cost effectiveness. If need be, Russia can have them setup in Russia itself, but it is all about needs and cost effectiveness. Self reliance is best option of course, and then there are ways to achieve it in a set goal of time. Just an opinion.
We don't trust the west because of historical reasons like their support for Pakistan in the past. We are an emerging power why should we choose a side? When we ourself can be a side.
Swati ji, you should have mentioned the recent destruction of S400 radars by Ukraine by use of Drone decoys + atcams

Most of Russia weapons are old tech. It's poor supply, very poor spare parts make it very old, by the time weapons reach buyer
Buy Oil From Russia NOT Junk Weapons to Maintain a Economical & Politician Relationship
Digital sovereignty is needed.... India need their own OS or the West will cripple India in the time of crisis.

India is not close to russia. it is close to putin and putin is anti people. india did not condemn putin towards his action against his opponents.
