yes your point is valid in explaining why contracts were cancellled ......NOT though for Indias sudden determination to in future to make their own weapons from western components well yes ....obeying the sanctions , (they weren't previously) , is by definition a step away from russia

again - article 5 - REQUIRED to support .....Lithuania , Latvia and Estonia are now assured of the two northern countries supporting them if attacked
ex soviet republics that russia has been lusting after and definitely wants back - in putins perfect world an attack across the Suwalki gap separating these countries from NATO - fait accompli ----- NO LONGER POSSIBLE

YOUR POINT ABOUT THE BALTIC ......certainly free traffic in peace time (and NATO are not presently at war with russia ) - not the case during war time (when it actually matters) - strategic loss to russia

There's no evidence there was ever going to be an attack from Suwalki gap. So all of this is irrelevant.

"...not the case during war time (when it actually matters) - strategic loss to russia..."
NATO already had a presence in the Baltic sea, tangs. So all of this is irrelevant. Especially considering that you're talking about a hypothetical unrealistic scenario. Russian navy is free to move around the Baltic Sea. No strategic loss.
