Russian Arms deal
by Barbara Starr
Earlier today, Russian President Vladimir Putin's made a new $5 billion weapons deal with
India, who is a key American ally, to sell an advanced S-400 air defense
system. This is just the latest open challenge by Russia to the U.S. defense
dominance. This took place while the U.S. changes is military priorities. The S-400 is one of Russia's air defense systems, which it is
also trying to sell to Turkey, who is another key U.S. ally. The S-400 underscores the type of worry U.S. commanders have. In
the field, it functions with a virtual umbrella of radars and missiles
that can limit the ability of the US military to operate freely and
without restrictions in combat.
