· World · The Hindu
Chief of Army Staff General Dhiraj Seth will travel to Russia on Wednesday for an official visit to hold discussions with the Russian military leadership on bilateral defence cooperation. The talks are expected to focus on new military platforms offered by Moscow and the ongoing modernisation of existing systems. A key issue on the agenda is securing the availability of spare parts and supplies for Russian-origin military equipment currently operated by the Indian Army. The visit comes as India and Russia seek to deepen their defence ties and expand cooperation beyond a traditional buyer-seller framework into joint production and technology sharing. The report does not specify the exact duration of the visit or the full list of officials scheduled to meet General Seth.
Why it matters
The visit directly impacts the Indian Army's operational readiness by addressing critical supply chain needs for its existing Russian-origin hardware while shaping future joint defence manufacturing ties.
