India continues to maintain close military-industrial relations with Russia, despite attempts to diversify weapons purchases abroad.
The Indian Ministry of Defense is called fake a message about the alleged suspension of negotiations with the United States on weapons purchases. The Times of India reported this Friday, August 8.
The department said the purchases are continuing according to the established procedures. They also called media reports on suspension of “wrong and work -made.”
“The messages that India suspended negotiations for purchasing defense products in the United States are manufactured. Different obtaining cases are carried out in accordance with current procedures,” officials emphasized.
The Reuters had previously reported that India allegedly stopped its major defense contracts in the United States following the introduction of American trade tariffs. According to resources, the purchase of Stryker battle vehicles, javelin missiles and Boeing P8I reconnaissance aircraft for $ 3.6 billion were purchased.
It also argued that India had canceled the visit to the Minister of Defense in the United States, where they had to agree with the agreements.
Remember, Trump has promised to “significantly” increase duties for India due to the resale of Russian oil.
After information about the first functions, the media published conflicting information. According to one version, India will buy oil from the Russian Federation, despite Trump’s threats. According to another, India has begun to buy oil in the USA, Canada and the Middle East to replace Russian barrels.
