'Growing strategic relations with the U.S. cannot imply India dumps its ally Russia,' India's retired Major General Harsha Kakar told Newsweek.
Security Council was unsurprisingly vetoed by Moscow, but three other powers spoiled a consensus as well, including two partners of Washington along with its top rival.
Harsha Kakar, a retired major general of the Indian Armed Forces who also led the department of strategic studies at India's College of Defence Management, toldthat his country's decision was rooted in"India's traditional ties with Russia, including defense deals and continued dependence on weapon spare parts and imports including S-400 missile systems.
He also referenced India's relations with Ukraine, noting they"involve defense deals including spares for naval gas turbine engines and upgrading of the AN [Antonov] fleet of aircraft." But he cited the words of India's top diplomat in illustrating these ties were dwarfed by the need for positive ties with Russia.
Former U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis famously nicknamed the UAE"little Sparta" due to its outsized posture in the fraught security situation of the Persian Gulf region. But in addition to seekingsupport in the face of tense times with nearby Iran, Abu Dhabi has also eyed closer ties with Moscow in a number of sectors, including defense.
