Original Message This week India-Russia relationship moved from being 'special' to regular. As Russian troops landed in Pakistan for a two-week counter-terrorism joint exercise the 'degree of separation' of the original strategic partners only increased, coming as it did in less than a week after the Uri terror strike. Even though India and Russia are also engaged in counter-terrorism exercises in Vladivostok (for the eighth year running), watching Russian troops land in Pakistan is a new experience in the region.

Russia is central to India's foreign policy goals and to the balance of power in Asia. "The challenge for us is to keep the India-Russia relationship stable in a loosening great power universe," a source said. Russia remains India's top defence supplier, but Indian officials confirmed they have asked Moscow to make a choice between Pakistan and India. It's a red line that Moscow has breached and things may never be the same again..
