Yeah, that's dumb. Souring our relations with the because they are buying weapons made by someone else? They are worried about China, so are we. Who gives a fuck what weapons they have?
Fucking corporatism that's happening right now, our military industrial complex angry because they aren't getting the sale is endangering important international relations.
Sad thing is I can't think of any American SAM system that compares with the S-400. Can you?
I believe that's because the US is actually lacking in the long range AA department. The priority was placed into aircraft controlling the skies. So India basically doesn't have a choice if the want long range AA.
