US sanctions, that may be imposed against India due to the purchase of Russian S-400, increasingly hit by the US military industry. This statement was made by the think tank Observer Research Foundation (India) Dhruva Zhayshankara, Defense News reports.
According to Indian analyst, the imposition of sanctions against India because of the S-400 could harm US military deals with India, already concluded or are close to conclusion. These include the supply of deck multipurpose helicopters Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk, Dronov Sea Guardian from General Atomics and, perhaps, modified fighter F-16 Fighting Falcon and F / A-18 Hornet.
All this will be put at risk US sanctions

The US State Department earlier India set condition, in which the United States will not impose sanctions for the purchase of S-400.
