| #1 A garbage article written by one of the neo-Marxists of the Indian Foreign Service establishment. The only significance of the agreement is that Russia will now have an easier time selling upgrades/rehabs of MiL helicopters, GAZ trucks and jeeps, and perhaps some rebuilds on T-55/62 series tanks. Otherwise, the Afghan Army is switching to all Western equipment : AK-47 switched to M-16, artillery being switched over to 155 NATO standard, etc. |
