I mean sure, there are failures all the time. But it just seems weird bringing up Russia's (or anyone's) successful space program when India lands on the moon.

It's not that weird, Russia's was the most recent attempt before this one. India landed today, Russia crashed last weekend, Japan crashed back in April, India crashed 2019. Those are all the most relevant ones to talk about in relation to this one due to timing and landing site.
