FILE- Russian and Indian warships take part in joint naval exercises near the Russia's Pacific port of Vladivostok, about 6,400 km (4,000 miles) east of Moscow, April 26, 2007. India considers Russia a time-tested ally from the Cold War era with key cooperation in defense, oil, nuclear energy and space exploration. But that partnership has become fraught since Moscow started developing closer ties with India's main rival, China, because of the war against Ukraine. (AP Photo, File)
