While there is a degree of suspicion towards China, Russia also makes plenty of money arming Beijing and its rivals (India, Vietnam and even Indonesia).

Russia is making money selling some weapons to China but none of these weapons are of strategic value like this sub which is a game changer and boosts Indian Navy capabilities to a new level.

While all countries are in the business of making money from whatever countries they can sell to, countries still sell/transfer the top notch technology to their most preferred ally. Thus you have Russia selling aircraft carriers, nuclear attack subs and cutting edge PakFa to India.

US meanwhile sells Pakistan advanced lethal weaponry like F-16sC/D Block 50/52, AMRAAM, Harpoon, Sidewinder, JDAMs, 5000 TOW anti-armour missiles,Cobra attack helos,M109 Howitzers, AN/TPS-77 surveillance radars.

And US sells non lethal military hardware to India, like C-103 Hercules and C-17 transport jets,P-8 Poseidon maritime surveillance and USS Trenton. No advance lethal military hardware has been sold by US to India till date, let alone share advanced technology. The US views India same as how Russia sees China.
