  India and China are bound to fight another war, both countries have gone ultra nationalistic.
context: It's a misleading news.. indian defence spending has almost been constant with very less increase each year. Most of which goes towards salaries and pensions(under new pension scheme). 
  India is looking for 20-25% reduction in manpower. So that the money can be spent towards tech... Like every other major power is already doing. >
  
  India should be wary of their Russian friendship. Russia will side with China for any Chinese transgressions against India. Russia owes them since the Ukraine invasion. >
  
  Youre not wrong, but I think India is stepping away from Russia as cautiously as it can.
  They also use a lot of French and euro tech,
  It's also worth mentioning that India is forming strong cooperative ties with other countries to establish its own alliances outside of 'the big three'
  For example Australia and India while both too small to have significant military threats on their own with their budgets are cooperating in military operation training and data sharing. As well as naval freedom of navigation and trade partnerships.
  India might be moving slowly, but when you have literally billions of people to move into the first world, progress is never going to be fast,
  India has played the fence fairly well, but more than that, they're doing a fairly good job of forming allies elsewhere too (or at least making the inroads towards them)
  There's been a lot of quiet articles about India and Australia's joint cooperation in countering China  and the two nations have essentially fought side by side in every conflict. >

  How much of that will be stolen
