Well this was an interesting conflict. It's pretty much over.

A war between India -→ China/Pakistan would not be something that the Indian could win. And China would be pushing a lot harder. But one major world power just took a clear side. Russia just took the side of India in the most "concrete" way possible. In the world of Geo-politics it's sometime hard to know who really is a friend or foe. But Action like supplying Advance air-defence like the S-400 in the middle of this conflict is a Very, Very powerful statement.

You don't send a C-17 Globemaster to pick up Russian Ice-cream. You send it when you want to bring back something a lot more useful………..
