USA and Ukraine Replacing russia as India's Defense Suppliers

Someone once told me, "The Soviet Union was based on Ukrainian technology, and cheap russian labor." Turns out they were right. Despite russia's endless stream of fake news in an attempt to discredit Ukraine (everytime a russian says Ukrainian and Nazi I remind them of SS RONA) Ukraine and the US are quickly pushing russia out of India's pool of defense suppliers. As of today, there are 400 defense contracts between India and Ukraine, and this number will only continue to grow as russia's share of the market declines. In the past 10 years alone, US weapons sales to India have increased from $1 billion to over $15 billion. As the article states, russia's loss of access to the Ukrainian technological sector has been one of their most damaging losses from their recent blunder in Eastern Ukraine in addition to sanctions. Fun fact: over half of the Su-30 MK jets sold to India from russia don't even work. The article also describes how India sees beyond russian propoganda lies, and is leaving the russians in the dust for far more reliable Ukrainian technology. Increased co-operation between countries like India, USA and Ukraine will drive the russian arms business into the ground, and will likely prevent russia from arming the wrong people in the future, just as the russians did in the days of the second world war when they attacked Eastern Europe with their Nazi allies and armed the Nazis with the resources necessary to start the war. Thankfully the US and the brave souls of the UPA slaughtered endless hoards of ruskis and their allies.
