If India is still buying them, they’re obviously happy with their capabilities. The author also seems upset more than anything that Russia can fulfil the order, it’s not really worth mentioning the “depleting stockpiles” otherwise.

Yep, while right now the Western imperialists are focusing more on attacking Russia, Iran, and China, we should not forget that they also want to destroy India as well. India is simply too big and powerful for the imperialists’ liking. In fact, when you take into account purchasing power parity, India easily has the world’s third largest economy. That is why the West already has plots to carve a “Sikh state” out of northwestern India and a “Christian state” out of northeastern India.
The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, the friend of my friends is also my enemy, my friends are my enemy, literally every country is my enemy, blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne

Well that’s because their economic interests are secondary to his economic interests
Modi’s been pretty wary of not allying himself with the US and West. India’s relationship to Russia has been rekindled under his administration. *This isn’t an endorsement of his
junior partner to the empire
What? How is India a junior partner to the empire?
Can’t let strategy get in the way of my racism obviously.
