NEW DELHI (Sputnik) – Russia may provide India with unique, cutting-edge military technology, which no other country is able to deliver, India’s Major General (Retired) G D Bakshi told Sputnik on Saturday when commenting on joint drills that kicked off involving the two countries.
“We have to put some deliberate efforts so as to improve our relationship with Russia. We have to understand that the technology which Russia is ready to give to India, like nuclear submarine, fifth generation fighter aircraft and cutting-edge technology, no other country is ready to give to us,” Bakshi said.
The joint Indra-2015 military drills on countering international terrorism are taking place in India's northern Mahajan firing range until November 20 with the focus on the so-called Counter-Terrorism Operations in Desert Terrain under a United Nations Mandate, according to the Indian Defense Ministry.
Bakshi added that the main goal of the exercises is to boost army to army contacts and improve interoperability.
