In India, enthusiastically welcomed offers of US congressmen over whether, CAATSA that the sanctions regime should be distributed selectively. We are talking about sanctions package, which the introduction of the US threatened countries, We intend to cooperate with Russia in the military-technical sector.
In published an updated version of the law states that, US sanctions can be taken outside the country braces, which carry out the import of arms from Russia. Apart from India to the list of countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia.
Recall, India intends to purchase from Russia of S-400, and it had been actively requested that American partners not to impose sanctions measures against it, that as "C-400 need to protect". As an argument gives the following: S-400 from Russia acquired China, and it threatens the security of the Indian - and if you (USA) trying to contain China, give us the opportunity, too, to buy Russia's latest SAM.
A revised version of the US document says, that "in some areas of cooperation with the Russian Federation to foreign states possible, but in the end the dependence on Russian weapons should be reduced ".
It turns out, that the same is actually allowed India to buy Russian S-400, but due to the failure of other purchases from the Russian Federation. Immediately comes to mind is the refusal of New Delhi to participate in the project fighter 5th generation FGFA. In the light of recent developments can be assumed, that India could take such a decision and the non-self. Although the policy of the authorities of this country is very peculiar, and multi-vector New Delhi often plays a cruel joke with the India. One example of Indian oddities: statements about the threat from China and simultaneous preparation for the conclusion of agreements on the BRICS summit in South Africa.
