This is a secure communication plane. Israel has small population. safety of technical people will be very high for overseas travel. and Russia is not a non scientific society that it need to send planes for a week for gathering data for Israel.
There will be further visits from Royals to Russia. so there is additional incentive to gather info from Israel.

In what universe are indians "dominating corporate America"? Real power lies with the owners of capital, not the hired gun CEO.

As for politics, being democratic or autocratic doesn't mean much. America backs dictators who do their bidding. India's usefulness will only last as long as India is perceived as obedient to the US power structure. If India starts getting uppity, then they will receive far harsher treatment. But the problem for India is that they don't even have 5% of the self-sufficiency of China in key technological areas. Another problem is that their self-conception of their power is far greater than actual reality.

I think many Indians really thought they could just join the West without any real price being paid. But the last few weeks have been a rude awakening.

"India superpower" is a very real concept in Indian minds. They discuss this frequently in their media, think tanks, etc. Indian strategy revolves around the idea but it is a poor strategy. You can see this in all sectors - want full ToT on everything, but have nothing to contribute.

Dominating in the sense of demographically displacing Americans across a wide swath of roles. This eventually leads to fundamental changes to the company's structure and culture. Sure, the share holders may still be your typical white American elites, but beyond selecting the CEO, the board of directors has limited power, and if most of the company is Indian, then a white CEO's hands would be tied as CEOs still rely on lower level executives to carry out their will.

White American elites can take back their corporations through divesting and putting the money into new companies with favorable white demographics. But that's risky, and it also requires working against the platform monopolies that the top companies' successes are often built around. It's not like Indians will run a company like Microsoft, Amazon, or Google to the ground - those companies already have such insane global market share in their respective industries that true disruption can only come from radical technology changes. Even mediocre Indian executives cannot screw that up, so it's not likely that the situation will change any time soon.

Microsoft and Google are sort of being run into the ground though. Have you seen the state of Windows these days with their atrocious support or Google which can't even do searching right anymore? Everything for the sake of stock prices, I'm pretty sure heard those tales before.

Sure they can only be killed when something disrupts it like how chatbots are slowly replacing google search. But these guys are making it a lot easier. The story simply has yet to be finished being wrote so we can't see it yet. Most of us a decade ago would think Intel is completely invincible and could never reach the sorry state it currently is in.

For China bulls though, this is a good thing. China might be finally getting into tech now, but lets say over a decade ago, people in China could not see themselves fighting the US or the west in tech since they were at such a high level. Now however China sees it does have a chance thanks to some people.

China's ambassador to India, Xu Feihong, says China will stand firmly with India and opposes President Donald Trump's tariffs of up to 50% on Indian exports. Kate Kalutkiewicz, a former Trump trade official and Mclarty Associates lead for trade, says this is China just trying to win the rhetoric game.

They're trying to turn lemons into lemonade because the US just handed China a potential winning hand and they know it. China didn't run over to India. If that were the case, India would be wringing as much they could get from both sides. The most ideal Indian play. India had no choice but to go to China. That says how much the US failed and what did it cost China...? The breath it took to say some words.

All the US has to do is say sorry to India but they can't even the ones that see this as a big mistake on the US's part. Why? Because Westerners cannot admit when they were wrong. They're relegated to spinning how it's hypocritical on China's part pissed-off seeing China grinning at the US's unforced error.
