Russian\Indian Anti-Terror Exercise

Five warship from the Russian fleet in the Pacific, including a nuclear submarine will rendezvous with the Indian military in Mahajan at the training grounds located in Rajasthan. The joint drills represented as as anti-terror exercises will involve air, naval and air borne ground troops.



The Russians have been quite busy holding military exercises, first with China and now with India. It is also interesting to note that China has invited India to observe its military exercises. A very powerful military relationship seems to be forming between these 3 countries that could easily rival the dominance of NATO. This is a threat that the west should take very seriously.

Interesting. US relations with India are usually soured by the concern that India will go communist or have strong socialist tendencies. There's been a bit of a thaw recently tho, hopefully this won't freeze things up again.


It might also be sensible to see this in the light of other Russian-Chinese military exercises, and too see that as a possible counter-weight to US involvment in central asia, which is traditionally a 'geo-strategic' powerbase of the Russians.

That India will go communist?!??
