$2.3BN US-India Deal To Rescue Soviet-Era MiG-29s While Russia Bleeds In Ukraine | VERTEX

India is partnering with an American defence contractor to modernise its ageing fleet of Soviet-era MiG-29 jets, signalling a subtle but significant shift in its longstanding military relationship with Russia. As Moscow faces supply chain challenges due to the war in Ukraine and spare parts become harder to procure, the Pentagon-approved firm Coastal Mechanics has signed a $2.3 billion agreement with Reliance Defence to deliver maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for India’s MiG-29s, Jaguars, Apache helicopters, and other assets. The establishment of a new MRO hub in Nagpur will support India’s efforts to update its air fleet and serve as a regional centre for servicing Russian-origin equipment. Although this move does not constitute a complete break with Russia, it highlights India’s strategy to diversify its defence sourcing, while also strengthening its defence ties with the United States, a partnership that has expanded dramatically over the past 15 years, with total US military hardware sales to India now approaching $20 billion. #mig21crash #mig29 #mig29k #russianfighterjets #india #trump #putin #worldnews #internationalnews #globalnews #breakingnews #news #vertex _______________________________ Welcome to Vertex, your trusted source for incisive and insightful analysis of global politics.
