India is preparing to engage in discussions regarding a comprehensive military cooperation agreement with Russia, coinciding with President Vladimir Putin's visit this week. Sources have indicated that the talks may cover the potential acquisition of advanced Su-57 fighter jets and a modern S-500 air defense system.
This initiative is part of the long-standing strategic partnership between New Delhi and Moscow, which has persisted for decades despite U.S. pressures to limit military transactions between the two nations.
The proposed agreement is viewed as a means to enhance India's defensive capabilities in response to regional challenges, while also solidifying its reliance on Russian technology in the defense sector.
Media reports suggest that India sees this cooperation with Russia as an opportunity to advance its air and missile capabilities. Meanwhile, Moscow views the agreement as a way to strengthen its position in the Asian arms market and reaffirm the strength of bilateral relations.
