At the same time, India will strengthen its relations with both the countries by buying missiles from both America and Russia. In fact, America is upset with India’s neutral attitude after the war with Ukraine and has also put pressure on it not to buy oil from Russia.

In such a situation, India wants to have good relations with both Russia and America. Russia’s dangerous Caliber cruise missiles and America’s Harpoon missiles will also be helpful in pursuing India’s foreign policy and will also increase the strength of the Indian Navy in the Indian Ocean.
