Seems like Indian defence acquisition is about to be screwed.

S400, AK203, Talwar class frigates will likely get much higher scrutiny or be cancelled.

Super sukhoi likely gone and even maintenance for existing fighters will come under pressure.

Predator drones cancelled due to make in india initiative and p75i submarines delayed due to bureaucracy

Gonna be a tough 20 years for Indian armed forces
It's going to take at least a decade to move away from using Russian equipment. Even if they switch to western platforms, they'll still need them for supplies and serving. There's been no sign of them wanting to switch anyway.

After all that, the Russians will abandon them for China if needed.

Indians really are fucked.

Just realised it's possible that India's submarine force will drop to 6 or 8 for the near-mid future

Their kilos are undergoing retirement and so will their type 209s, all of which are around 30 plus years old

They might possibly only have the 6 scorpenes left + 2 newer kilos if their submarine procurement doesn't speed up. That's incredibly low. Even Pakistan will have 6 new 039As

To be fair, it's actually possible if the Ukraine situation continues on it's path, with the ukrainian military stopping indians from escaping. India is a very emotional country and such events (+western commentators criticising india's position) will definitely rile up Indians to become anti-west

But, sir, there are not many wars fought in the West, so Indians can live with it, sir.
