New Delhi, Moscow to Boost Defence Ties, Increase Russia's Participation in ‘Make in India’

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met Russian Defence Minister Andrey Belousov on June 26, 2025, at the SCO Summit in Qingdao, China.
The meeting followed India's May 2025 Operation Sindoor strikes against Pakistan and sought to address lingering trust deficits from the 2020 border standoff.
They discussed the delivery of remaining S-400 air defense squadrons, upgrades to Su-30MKI jets, and Russia’s increased role in India's 'Make in India' defense initiative.
Russia confirmed delivering the fourth S-400 squadron in 2026 and the fifth in 2027, with each squadron containing 128 missiles across two batteries, while Singh called the talks "insightful."
The discussions reinforced the longstanding India-Russia partnership and implied enhanced regional security cooperation amid evolving aerial threats and cross-border tensions.
