  1. Russian military incompetence and lack of funding (its GDP is lower than California's) make this mostly a public relations gesture. INDIA should build out its sea power more aggressively as India is wealthier and far more competently run than the Russian Federation. Indian sea power will be a major deterrent to its opponents (Chinese trade cannot all go by land and ships are by far the best way to move bulk cargo) and secure civilian maritime trade. There is no reason India cannot choose to build shipyards then ships at Chinese or South Korean scale. The Indian ocean wasn't named by accident and fading neocolonial empires like the Russian Federation (who treat their conquests like Winston Churchill did the Indian peoples) cannot maintain maritime power projection at the scale required. Indian basing and seaport buildout is an enormous opportunity for India to develop more skilled manufacturing and raise its standard of living. Russia cannot loiter forever (it lacks underway replenishment and supporting vessels) while India has nearby geographic presence.
