DTN News: India and Russia’s “Time-Tested” Military Relationship Rolls On *Source: DTN News / Int'l Media (NSI News Source Info) NEW DELHI, India - October 22, 2009: Ever since Nikita Khrushchev advised India to “shout across the Himalayas if you ever need us,” military cooperation between India and Russia has rarely taken a pause. Propeller Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is meeting today with his Indian counterpart Somanahalli Mallaiah Krishna in Moscow for the latest round of talks aimed at beefing up military cooperation between the two nations.
