CAATSA

Indonesia’s about-face from a deal with Russia to new purchase agreements with the U.S. and France highlights the potency of U.S. sanctions.

The U.S. government has many reasons to grant India a waiver for its purchases of Russian defense equipment.

The two countries are currently in talks to launch the production of S-400 components in India, according to a senior Russian defense official.

The first regimental set of S-400 air defense systems is slated to arrive in India by late 2020.

A senior U.S. diplomat warned India over procuring S-400 air defense systems from Russia in a recent congressional testimony.

Jakarta has expressed serious interest in the capable supersonic cruise missile.

The U.S. defense secretary expressed confidence that U.S. and India will work out differences centered on CAATSA.

Without greater energy cooperation, the U.S.-India partnership will feel the chill from an Iranian sanctions winter.

India is expected to receive its new S-400 air defense systems within two years, according to a senior Russian defense official.

Push sanctions too far and China may decide that it’s past time to challenge U.S. financial and legal hegemony.

India and Russia signed a deal for the procurement of five S-400 regiments on October 5 despite the threat of U.S. sanctions.
