Why India, Unlike Turkey, Will Not Invite US Sanctions Over Its S-400 Deal With Russia?
January 15, 2021
India is going ahead with its plan to induct the Russian S-400 Triumf surface-to-air missile. Undeterred by the prospect of the US imposing sanctions under Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), which it has done on Turkey, a NATO member, as well as China, New Delhi is keen to acquire the deadly missiles.
A team of the Indian Air Force will be reportedly in Russia later this month in connection with the deliveries of the first installment of missiles in September-October this year.
