KIEV, April 1 – Ukraine has launched an aggressive effort to manage multiple overloaded armaments and weaponry that New Delhi acquired during the Soviet era and which have become a liability for the Indian defense forces, military news portal Defense News reported.

A Ukrainian governmental delegation and over a dozen defense companies showcasing new programs are now at Defexpo, Defense News wrote.

"We are here now [in] India for the long term to manage Soviet-era headaches, which India cannot manage alone," said Petro Fedoruk, chief adviser to Ukraine's largest defense industry consortium, Ukroboronprom.
