They gave the latest technology to India including weaponry, which the USA and the West had denied India.
The Air Force and army were modernised with the MIG planes and T series tanks. India inched closer to Russia during the seventies with a 20 year treaty of friendship as well. This had a clause for military cooperation as well.
The collapse of the Soviet Union was a blow as India never expected it. Russia was reduced in terms of size and influence There were overtures from USA as it was scared of China, resulting In India putting some of its eggs in the American baskey.
