Over the past decade or so, India's international status has gradually risen, and its military strength has also been significantly enhanced. India has not only shown a tough attitude in the border areas, but has also shown self-confidence and ambition in many international forums. After an in-depth analysis, the people concerned believe that there are three important backers behind it: the United States, Russia, and Israel, and the latter is its biggest backer. These three countries not only provided military support to India, but also contributed to India's rise to a certain extent.
The United States, as the most powerful country in the world, has always been an important ally of India. The two countries have close cooperation in the military, economic, scientific and technological fields, and other fields. The United States has not only sold a large number of advanced weapons and equipment to India, such as F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" fighter jets, C-17 strategic transport aircraft, and MQ-9 "Reaper" drones, but has also carried out a series of joint military exercises with India to enhance India's combat effectiveness and combat experience. In addition, the United States has given India great political support to help it play a greater role in the international arena.
Russia, on the other hand, is India's traditional arms supplier. Cooperation between the two countries in the military sphere has a long history, which began in Soviet times and involves several areas. Russia has sold a large number of fighter jets, main battle tanks, anti-aircraft missiles and other weapons to India, providing important support for India's national defense construction, such as S-400 air defense systems, "needle" air defense missiles, T-90 tanks, Su-30, MiG-29 fighters and so on. In addition, Russia has also given India great help in terms of technology transfer and personnel training, and has improved India's military manufacturing capacity.
Israel, as a military power in the Middle East, is also an important partner of India. Although the two countries are geographically far apart, they work closely together on military technology and intelligence sharing. Israel has provided India with advanced drones, anti-tank missiles and other weapons, and has carried out a series of joint research and development projects with it. This cooperation has not only boosted India's military strength, but also deepened strategic trust between the two countries.
You must know that Israel is even afraid of the United States, although Israel was single-handedly supported by the United States and is also its biggest ally in the Middle East, but Israel's rapid development makes the United States unable to react. In addition to the developed economy, the United States has sighed at the independent research and development of the military industry, many of which are at the world's leading level, such as the Iron Dome air defense system, Merkava tank, Spike anti-tank missile, Female Tiger armored vehicle, and so on. In recent years, with the delivery of a batch of anti-tank missiles and ground-penetrating bombs to India, everyone has reacted, and it turns out that the two have already secretly cooperated.
The reason why these three countries are willing to support India is that in addition to valuing India's huge arms procurement market, more importantly, they see India's potential and value in the international community. As a country with a large population and a rapidly developing economy, India's international influence is gradually rising. By establishing a cooperative relationship with India, the three countries can not only reap economic benefits, but also use India's strength to safeguard their own interests and status.
However, we should also note that while India is improving its military strength, it is also facing many problems. For example, India's military manufacturing capacity is relatively weak, and most of its weapons and equipment still rely on imports. It's easy to get stuck in the neck. If India wants to truly achieve its rise, it needs to strengthen its own domestic production capabilities, and only in this way can it be invincible in international competition.
