India has been maintaining its trade ties between US and Russia in a diplomatic way. With the US, India is now planning to launch a new defence innovation roadmap. Also, India is trying to buy F-35 fighter jets from the US. The defence trade with the US increased recently. In 2022, the India-US defence trade stood at 21 billion USD. Though India started its journey of defence with Russia’s help, the US is one of its major defence partners of India today. It is essential to maintain a neutral stand with the world powers.
