Su-57 and S-400 will be discussed
The Russian President’s visit to India is taking place at a time when India-US relations are probably going through their worst phase in the last two decades after Washington imposed a heavy 50 percent tariff on Indian goods. Ahead of the summit, the defense ministers of the two countries will hold large-scale talks on Thursday, which are likely to focus on India’s plan to buy more batches of S-400 missile systems and other critical military hardware from Russia. S-400 missile systems proved to be very effective during Operation Sindoor. Along with this, there can be discussion on supplying Su-57 fighter jet by Russia to India. India is in the process of purchasing a batch of fifth generation fighter jets. Dassault Aviation’s Rafale, Lockheed Martin’s F-21, Boeing’s F/A-18 and Eurofighter Typhoon are included in this batch.
India-Russia summit takes place every year
Every year there is a summit meeting between India and Russia to review all aspects of relations, for which President Putin is coming to India. So far, 22 annual meetings have taken place between India and Russia. The Russian President last visited New Delhi in 2021. In July last year, PM Modi went to Moscow for the annual summit. Russia has been a true partner for India and an important pillar of New Delhi’s foreign policy.
