The two leaders pledged to boost military cooperation
India and Russia have agreed to boost economic and military ties at the end of Indian PM Manmohan Singh's two-day visit to Russia.
The two sides signed agreements to jointly develop a military transport aircraft and mount a join mission to the moon, among other things.
Mr Singh met Russian President Vladimir Putin, the latest in a series of yearly meetings between the two allies.
The two countries have had close links since Soviet times.
Mr Singh said both sides were working on an agreement that would allow Russia to build four nuclear reactors in India, according to reports. Russia is already building a civilian nuclear power plant in India.
