India, Russia review defence ties

India has conveyed to Russia its concern over delays in supply of spares from the country for military equipment.
Taking up the issue in Moscow, Defence Minister A.K. Antony said the delays in export clearances for vital repair equipment had been affecting supplies of equipment and spares.
Over the past few months, India had floated tenders for supply of spares for its fleet of fighter aircraft of erstwhile Soviet origin, including the MiG series, besides radars and missiles. The Russian side had assured the Indian delegation that the matter was receiving attention at the highest levels of its government and efforts would be made to institutionalise measures so that such delays could be avoided.
