PM Modi meets Russian President Putin, holds talks

While India and Russian are expected to sign a “complex agreement” for setting up a joint facility for production of 200 Kamoc helicopters besides a deal for four naval frigates, a “forward movement” is expected in the talks for the purchase of five system of S400 Triumf air defence systems that will cost over USD 5 billion.
