India May Strike $8 bn Deal with Russia for Defence Orders Including Kamov Helicopters, Krivak Frigates, S-400
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in New Delhi this Friday. A deal is expected for defence orders for 5 S-400 Triumf air defence units for the Indian Air Force (IAF) for around $4.5 billion; 4 Krivak III-class frigates for the Indian Navy for about $2 billion, and a $1.5-billion contract to build 200 Kamov-226T light helicopters in Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.
