Russians would not like to loose Indian military purchases and dumb netas would be taken by surprise, if Russia sells better then India's fighter jets and avionics to Pakistan, creating more trouble for India, because China and Pakistan are already buddies.
The question again comes to full circle stop. What will it take to a) re-establish 1947 division boundries b) long term peace on western borders and c) dare devil risk planning with American military suppliers, since they don't work for free either.
All these questions have one answer in common. Inaction, more inaction, dumb decisions and giveaways after more giveaways. Look how cats and dogs are BJP and Congress fighting for power, not for India, for India and by India. Congress is reviving division of caste and muslim appeasement, BJP is revising yatras and India is getting nowhere but going to pay more burden in future, if it stays one peice.
Good analysis by Russian daily and thinkers, because it highlights that Indias military purchase is not getting the best for its rupee. How many migs crashed and how many Sukois have been used. It's not Russia's fault. It's Delhi's fault-dumb, naive and corrupt netas.
This is good for India. Competition between Russia and the US will drive prices down, and yield a better quality product.
Otherwise, I do not trust what the russian daily says. Where is their evidence? The sale of a couple of $billion in arms to india doesn't matter so much for the US which has a $11,000 billion a year economy. But, for russia, which is poor, it is a big deal. Therefore, I'm pretty sceptical about which side will be the more dishonest in their dealings with India.
As a businessman I've noticed that people who are at the top, and have nothing to lose, are more honest than people who don't have much and are struggling to get to the top.
