This makes it a particularly important customer for a number of leading arms exporters, including Russia, France, the United States, etc. Due to its over half a century long close ties with Moscow, Delhi is a premier user of Russian weapons, ranging from modernized AK-200 series of assault rifles to nuclear-powered submarines. This cooperation also involves significant technology transfers, including hypersonic weapons and advanced developments in aviation. India was even part of the FGFA (Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft) program that nearly resulted in the joint production of an Indian Su-57 derivative by Sukhoi and HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited). While the Indian Air Force (IAF) acquired a number of French and Israeli systems, most of its equipment, including fighters and missiles, is still of Russian origin. This includes the Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets, the best in IAF, constituting nearly half its squadrons (14 out of 30). There are also the MiG-29UPG and MiG-21 fighters, the IL-76 heavy-lift aircraft and IL-78 tankers. India has also converted two IL-76s into AEW&C (airborne early warning and control) platforms. Naturally, such a high percentage of Russian jets also means that IAF operates numerous Russian weapons, including the R-77 and R-73 air-to-air missiles, the Kh-59, Kh-35 and Kh-31 air-to-surface missiles, along with the KAB series of laser-guided bombs.

And while Americans are drowning in debt, commercial banks are even more exposed than ever, setting new all-time highs in their exposure to this fragile, over- leveraged system. If delinquencies rise, they’re in for a bloodbath. https://citizenwatchreport.com/americas-5-1-trillion-debt-bomb-consumers-drown- in-credit-while-banks-brace-for-impact/ Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
