India Buys Russian Anti-ship Missiles

India’s Defense Ministry announced Tuesday that it signed a major contract with Russia for the purchase of anti-ship cruise missiles.

• This landmark purchase is part of a 10-year military cooperation agreement signed in 2021 by Indian and Russian leaders.
• The purchase is only the latest evidence showing that powerful Asian nations still stand with Russian President Vladimir Putin even as he decimates Ukraine.

Details: The amount and specific type of the missiles being sent is unknown, but the announcement said the order would strengthen India’s submarine fleet. Analysts expect the missiles to be integrated into the Kilo-class diesel-electric submarines, a key aspect of India’s subsea fleet, which would considerably boost their strike capability and improve long-range operations.

Prophesied alliance: Watch for Russia to soon lead a massive alliance of Asian nations. It reveals that India will be part of this alliance. This massive army will cause more destruction than any other army in mankind’s history.
