Lt Col Charlie Brown I Wouldn't Call it a Difficult Spot, India has always Portrayed Itself as the Leader of the "Non-Aligned" Nations, Sometimes working with buying from Russia. Other Times from the US and UK. I Know as a Spook I was Always Impressed How they Would Hybrid Weapons Sytems From Both Sides. I Remember when Iran Needed Someone to Repair the Kilo Subs they Bought from Russia they Hired India.
