That is actually quite cool, Boukert. India are moving slowly but surely into Super power status one day.

It's just the tip of the iceberg; check this cooperation project with Russia for 5th gen bombers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_PAK_FA .
And it's rumoured the Indian navy is interested in the new class of Russian Nuclear Aircraft carriers.
I can't blame them for taking precautions with China buffing up and throwing their muscle around in the region and the situation with Pakistan still not 100% stable.

I knew that China and Russia are madly trying to expand their spheres of influence but I hadn't realized Russia was dipping its toes so deep in India and Pakistan. Sounds potentially destabilizing.
