Russia and India have reached such an outstanding level of confidence after decades of fruitful cooperation in the field of defence, that, India turned to Russia for fighters with sense of urgency. During Defence Minister’s recent visit to Russia he took up the issue of urgent supply of equipment and spares needed for the Russian-origin fighter aircraft including the Su-30MKIs and MiG-29s of the Air Force and the MiG29Ks of the Indian Navy, the T-90 battle ranks for the Army and the Kilo-class submarines of the Navy along with other warships. The sources said the equipment was earlier supposed to be supplied to India through the sea route but was stuck there for several months due to the COVID-19 situation.
