April 28, 2026: Jagannath Panda was quoted in the South China Morning Post on how Russian missiles could strengthen India against Pakistan’s Chinese Weapons.
“For India, integrating the R-37M on platforms such as Su-30MKI or other compatible fighters cound extend engagement engagement envelopes and complicate Pakistani air planning,” said Jagannath Panda.
“It may force Pakistan to push critical aircraft farther from the front line, reducing operational efficiency,” he said.
“Against the backdrop of the China-India border dispute, such acquisitions also signal to China that India intends to strengthen long-range air denial capabilities on two fronts.”
