Impact of Russo-Ukraine War on India
The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for more than 45 days and it was feared that it would create problems for Indian forces in securing their Russian-origin equipment. The armed forces said there were no issues at the moment and they were stocking up on the spares and equipment needed to run the fleet.
However, the forces may face a problem in the near future as the Russians cannot be paid for their supplies due to sanctions and sanctions in the banking system. According to sources, the Indian government is looking for a solution to the problem and efforts are being made in that direction.
Sources said the consignment of the S-400 missile system was transported by ship and is now operational. Parts of the missile system were delivered by both air and sea routes and were quickly deployed to designated locations.
The IAF will also dedicate some resources to train its personnel within the country.
