I just don’t think that the quote implies they’re looking at Russia only. To me, it says “we got a wake up call with that Russian invasion, so now we’re going to look at our defence relations.” And it doesn’t make sense to talk about expanding relations in the Indo-Pacific and the threat that China poses, if it was just about defending against Russia. Oh well

There’s two threats: China and Russia. Europe and US are part of NATO, so Russia isn’t really a threat per se. But China is actually a threat, with its huge economy and military. India is nowhere near Europe. This whole military exercise will be to better prepare for China, not Russia. The Indo-Pacific region. So I still don’t understand your point with “It is not in India’s interest to fight Russia”.

This is nothing to do with Russia though?

>“We will have the three nations to do military cooperation and maneuver in the Indo Pacific in the years to come. So you will see more of Germany in this region, because our government policy sees this as an area of an area of tension. This is because of the self confident China, which concerns us and should worry us, and because of the Indo Pacific, Germany will be present more around this region,” he adds
