America celebrating India / Pentagon said - we are committed to move forward in the defense sector, but dependence on Russia is discouraging

America is once again eyeing the relations between India and Russia in the defense sector. On behalf of the US Defense Headquarters Pentagon, it has been said that India is dependent on Russia to meet its defense needs and this is discouraging.

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said in a press conference, "We are very clear not only with India but also with other countries. We do not want any country to depend on Russia for its defense needs. He said that we are committed to the defense partnership with India and are exploring ways to move forward in this area. It is necessary and our efforts will continue, he said.

Earlier, US State Department Counselor Derek Choulet had said that the Joe Biden administration is looking forward to working in India's defense sector as India diversifies its defense capabilities and suppliers.

Despite the warnings, India had made an agreement with Russia

In October 2018, India signed a five billion dollar agreement with Russia for the S-400 air defense missile system. After this, America's eyes were slanted. Then US President Donald Trump had even warned of imposing sanctions on India. Despite this, India had signed an agreement with Russia, while the US has imposed sanctions on Turkey for buying S-400 missile defense system from Russia.
