{'new indian naval base': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'arjun': [0, 1, 2, 1], 'main battle tank': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'karwar seabird': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'mbt': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'saras': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'cruise missile': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'phalcon': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'civilian passenger aircraft': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}
The pair that is not correctly matched is "Phalcon: Cruise missile supplied by Russia to India."
The Phalcon is not a cruise missile but rather an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system. It is a radar system mounted on an aircraft to detect and track aircraft, missiles, and other aerial threats. The Phalcon system was indeed supplied to India by Israel, not Russia.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Phalcon: Cruise missile supplied by Russia to India."
