      Even as Washington is wooing New Delhi, India is seeking to buy Russian-made military hardware. The most recent deal would see the purchase of more than 450 tanks from Moscow for $1.93 billion, and it&#039;s not even the biggest one.      \n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The purchase of 464 T-90MS main battle tanks, approved<\/a> last week, will further expand the large stock of Russian-designed and manufactured weapons in India's arsenal. The country is one of the primary customers for Moscows arms.<\/p>\n
Another, even more significant contract \u2013 worth $5.43 billion \u2013 was signed last October, when India ordered five S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems. Delivery is expected by 2020.<\/p>\n
The cutting-edge air defense system is capable of intercepting and destroying targets at a distance of up to 400 kilometers and can engage up to six targets simultaneously. India has signaled it would go ahead with the purchase regardless of the US laws seeking to sanction any country that buys Russian military hardware.<\/p>\n
T-90 main battle tanks<\/h2>\n
India already has over 1,000 T-90 tanks of various types. Since the early 2000s, the country has operated \u0422-90S Bhishma tanks, designed specifically to meet Indias needs. Some of the machines have been manufactured in Russia, while others were assembled locally out of Russian-made assembly kits.<\/p>\n
Apart from the T-90S, India has purchased a number of T-90Ms \u2013 an upgraded iteration of the tank. In fact, India has significantly more T-90s in service than Russia itself, as well as a number of the older T-72 tanks.<\/p>\n
Russian-made aircraft<\/h2>\n
The Indian Air Force operates a wide selection of Russian-made airplanes as well, including a hundred or so MiG-21s. Though the supersonic fighter first flew in the late 1950s, don't let their age fool you: the latest upgraded model \u2013 known as MiG-21UPG Bison \u2013 can actually go toe to toe with 4th-generation fighters. The aircraft is suitable for gaining air superiority, as well as for ground attack missions.<\/p>\n
Aircraft of this type were involved in the recent flare-up between India and Pakistan \u2013 and at least one of them was shot down. India claimed that a Bison managed to shoot down a US-made Pakistani F-16 jet, yet failed to provide any solid proof. Islamabad, on its part, vehemently denies the loss and involvement of F-16s in the conflict.<\/p>\n

Among the more modern Russian jets in Indian service are over 200 Sukhoi Su-30MKI multirole fighters, designed specifically to meet the countrys demRead More \u2013 Source<\/strong><\/a>
