Russian troops, warships in India soon? Why their new military pact matters
"The RELOS agreement allows both countries to station 3,000 troops, five warships, and 10 military aircraft on each other's territory, marking a significant shift in India's defense policy."
"The purpose of the Agreement is to define the procedure for the deployment of military formations, port calls by warships, and the use of military bases during peace and wartime."
India and Russia have established a significant defense pact, the Reciprocal Exchange of Logistics Support (RELOS), enabling the deployment of soldiers, warships, and aircraft on each other's territory. This agreement, operational since January 12, allows for the use of military bases, naval ports, and airfields during both peace and wartime. The pact permits the stationing of 3,000 troops, five warships, and 10 military aircraft, marking a notable shift in India's defense policy and strengthening bilateral ties amid global tensions.
