Indian Defence Minister A K Antony has arrived in Moscow for holding discussions to finalise new joint ventures in strategic weapons, including the investment and technical parameters of 5th generation fighters.
Antony, who is on a three-day itinerary, will hold meetings with his Russian counterpart Anatoly Serdyukov on a one-to-one basis. He will also address the the Indo-Russian Inter-governmental Commission on Military-Technical Cooperation (IRIGC-MTC), which coordinates the defence projects.
This visit was taken up by Antony after numerous vital India-Russia defence projects, including the delivery of aircraft carrier Gorshkov and nuclear Akula-II class submarine, have been delayed.
But The Russians have raised objections against the delays mentioning that there is a drastic change in the scenario and the projects are now on fast track.
