India’s
$5 billion agreement to purchase Russia’s S-400 air defense system creates a
potential wedge between the U.S. and India.
Following
the India-Russia summit in Sochi this past summer, a pivotal Eurasian arms
agreement is emerging that is creating an opportunity to weaken the
relationship between India and the United States. 23 bilateral agreements are
being finalized in which Russia will sell India $5 billion-worth of
Russian-made S-400 air defense systems. The S-400 air defense systems have a
range of up to 250 miles, and are capable of stealth aircraft detection.
