What is the significance of Indo-US defence deals over Indo-Russian defence deals? Discuss with reference to stability in the Indo-Pacific region. (Answer in 250 words)
The 2019 US Indo-Pacific Security Strategy Report makes clear that along with bolstering and orienting its own forces toward the Indo-Pacific region, Washington is looking to build consensus and deepen support for US forward presence among existing allies and partners in defence of the current order.
Significance of India-US deals over India Russia deal:
✅BECA will help India get real-time access to American geospatial intelligence that will enhance the accuracy of automated systems and weapons like missiles and armed drones.
✅LEMOA allows the militaries of the US and India to replenish from each other’s bases, and access supplies, spare parts and services from each other’s land facilities, air bases, and ports, which can then be reimbursed. LEMOA is extremely useful for India-US Navy-to-Navy cooperation since the two countries are cooperating closely in the Indo-Pacific.
✅The signing of COMCASA paved the way for the transfer of communication security equipment from the US to India to facilitate “interoperability” between their forces.
Significance in the context of Indo-pacific.
✅ Blue water policy: US defence equipment will play a major role in India expanding its naval reach into the Indo-Pacific. The aircraft such as Poseidon will enhance our blue water naval capability to tackle extreme threats.
✅Check on China: US equipment is well advanced and unique from Russian technology. With China’s exposure to Russian defence equipment, US equipment is expected to give India a better advantage.
✅Free movement in the South China sea: The equipment is expected to boost India’s offensive strength and
challenge Chinese hegemony in the South China Sea. It is particularly important if India wants to develop defence relationships with ASEAN countries such as Vietnam.
✅ The India-Russia defence cooperation programme is huge: The problem is that Russia has also intensified defence cooperation with China and Pakistan, both India’s adversaries-turned-enemies.
However, after the Galwan crisis, India has been in talks with Russia for spare parts, ammunition and weapons worth over $ 1 billion, the reason being that a bulk of equipment with the armed forces is of Russian origin, a fact that is unlikely to change soon. From Su-30MKI fighters to T-90 main battle tanks and the new AK-203 assault rifles, Indian forces are heavily equipped with Russian arms. The dependence is even more critical on the strategic level the nuclear-armed Arihant submarine could not have been possible without Russian assistance and India even leases a nuclear attack submarine from Moscow.
