Buying S-400 from Russia can make ‘difficult’ for India, warns of US sanctions
India paid the first installment of $ 80 million to Russia in 2019 for this missile system. The S-400 is known as Russia’s most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile.
A report from the US Congress warns that the US may impose sanctions on it for India’s deal worth billions of dollars to buy a Russian-made S-400 air defense system. In its latest report submitted to the Congress, the independent and bipartisan research body of the US (Parliament) Congress, Congress, said that India “is keen for more technology sharing and co-creation initiatives while the US protects India” offset “Appeals to higher foreign direct investment limit in policy and reform and defense.”
This report has been prepared for the members of Congress to take deliberate decisions. The report warns that “India’s billions of dollars to buy Russia-built S-400 air defense system” on India under ‘Countering America’s Advocates Through Sanctions Act’ Can impose restrictions. “
However, the CRS report is not an official report of the US Congress nor does it reflect the views of MPs. They are prepared for the MPs by independent experts so that after understanding all the things, they decide after thinking. In October 2018, India signed a five billion dollar deal with Russia to buy four S-400s, despite the Trump administration’s warning. The Trump administration warned that doing so could put American sanctions on India.
India paid the first installment of $ 80 million to Russia in 2019 for this missile system. The S-400 is known as Russia’s most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile. Last month, Russia said that despite the threat of US sanctions, the current defense deals, including the supply of the first batch of the S-400 missile system, are being implemented.
Last month, Russian Ambassador Nikolay Kudashev in New Delhi seemed to criticize US sanctions on Turkey over the purchase of the S-400 missile system under a two-and-a-half billion dollar deal, saying Russia does not recognize such unilateral actions.
