The Russian military-industrial complex and/or elements of the Indian industrial complex that subcontracts building Russian arms is in desperate competition with the US now that Russian arms are increasingly obsolete relative to US/UK/French/Israeli offerings to the Russians.
The article makes out the Soviets to be such wonderful friends of the Indians and invites Indians to view today's Russians in the same light.
The article available at the same link to how Chuck Yeager's personal plane got shot up by the Indians during the last Indo-Pak war was very interesting and a clear anti-US propaganda piece:
“How India brought down the US’ supersonic man”

See also propaganda piece of Australia's new Darwin outpost for US troops:
“Australia’s Darwinian blunder”

Rakesh Krishnan Simha, specially for RIR
“Australia’s decision to host a permanent US military presence in the northern city of Darwin is likely to spark a fierce arms race in the Asia-Pacific region.”
A propaganda by definition implies deliberate spreading of false information, doctrines, rumors etc for a political purpose. Is there anything in THIS article that is false information? Surely it cant be a propaganda only because you don't like opinions expressed can it? As far as I know, the facts presented in this article is absolutely 100% correct.
Yes this article does makes the Soviets to be wonderful friends of Indians, which they were. You think that isn't true?
“The Russian military-industrial complex and/or elements of the Indian industrial complex that subcontracts building Russian arms is in desperate competition with the US now that Russian arms are increasingly obsolete relative to US/UK/French/Israeli offerings to the Russians.”
India has arms deals with Russia today far more then anytime in all of cold war history with Soviet/Russia. India has several multi-billion dollar arms deal that includes stealth fighter jets, aircraft carrier, nuclear subs, stealth destroyers, naval fighters jets, medium transport jets, AWACS, aerial refuelers, and hundreds of tanks and fighter upgrade programs. In comparison India's arms purchase from US amounts to only a few transport jets and maritime surveillance planes. That doesn't sound like "desperate competition" to me.
I also read the article on Chuck Yeager. All I can say is its bang on the buck.
