Understood. But the thing was India was willing to put up with a certain amount of that up until the invasion, for example India has heavily invested in the Armata despite no operational models being built. But the war in Ukraine has shown how much of a bad idea it is to depend on Russian weapons systems.
Agreed, I wasn't intending to undercut your point but rather to supplement it. Sorry if I came across otherwise.
