The Indian military. India has fought a number of wars against Pakistan and China since independence in 1947 and generally acquitted itself pretty well. Much of India's military equipment is Soviet/Russian in origin (hence the "Iglas" in the title, the Igla being a Russian man-portable SAM), sometimes licence-built, with India continuing to buy mostly Russian today. This trend is the result of a combination of factors, but the most important are the Bangladesh Liberation War, where America armed Pakistan, and the long-standing Pakistani alliance with China, which stopped being friendly with the USSR sometime during the late '50s or early '60s. India has been loaned Tu-142 "Bear" reconnaissance aircraft, has a version of the Su-30 and may get Tu-22M "Backfires" at some point in the future.
