Man, I've never told that R1a folks are not IE. Surely they are. I just disagree with the idea that R1a folks have come to Europe from Pontic Steppes. The age of R1a clades in Ukraine and Russia is in a range from 5000 to 4000 years old (~4500 y.o.) while some Balkanic and Western European clades of R1a are in a range from 7000 to 5000 years old. That means that r1a folks have come to Pontic Steppes from Central Europe but not otherwise.
What clades are u talking about. U should look at Eupedia R1a page. Were it gives a R1a family tree it does not give evry little detail but the basic picture. What clades in the Balkinic are u talking about because if they have R1a1a1b1 it somehow is connected with Balto Slavs. It matter where their clade is postined on the tree. Everything points to migrations for Indo iranian and Balto SLavic languages with r1a1a1 M417 out of the steppes of Russia and Ukriane. Bug Dniester and Yaman culture.
