ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III (Defence) and GS-II (International Relations): bilateral exercises build interoperability and signal strategic ties. India-Russia defence cooperation, long anchored in arms supplies, now also involves joint exercises, while India balances this with partnerships with the US, France, Japan and Australia under strategic autonomy. The way forward is diversifying exercises and indigenous defence manufacturing while keeping Russia as a reliable partner.
