The United States may impose several restrictions on India for buying billions of dollars worth of S-400 air defense missile systems from Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) , the independent research wing of the US Congress In its report submitted to the Congress, it has said that India is particularly keen on ‘technology sharing and co-production initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
However, the US demands that India bring more changes in its defense policy and bring more foreign direct investment in the defense sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The report prepared for Congress members reported that ‘India is buying a billion-dollar Russia-built S-400 air defense system that could lead to sanctions on India under the US anti-enemy sanctions law’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
However, the CRS report is not considered an official report nor does it reflect the views of members of the US Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are made independent experts so that law makers can be made aware of the decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
In October 2018, India signed a $ 5 billion deal with Russia to buy five S-400 air defense missile systems. However, before this the Trump administration had warned that if this deal happens then India should be ready for the US sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
In 2019, India made the first payment of $ 800 million for the missile system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The S-400 is considered to be Russia’s most modern ground-to-air long-range missile defense system. (PTK)<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
