India-U.S. Military Relations Growing Rapidly

For decades, India mostly depended on, first, the Soviet Union and then Russia for its military supplies. But as the Cold War ended and India's relations with the United States began improving during Bill Clinton's presidency, New Delhi gradually increased its military cooperation with Washington. Both New Delhi and Washington have said their relationship is not aimed against India's arch-rival Pakistan. Today, besides holding joint military exercises with the U.S. military, India has also been buying U.S. armaments worth billions of dollars. VOA's Ravi Khanna takes a look at the growing relationship.

USA and Russia can never be allies. There is too much heat there, but we should hope things get better and all these sane nations, like USA, Russia, Uk and India go ahead in their relations
