The Russian Federation after a failure in China brought Su-57 to India: left viewers without F-35 with F-16,-Defense Express

India in 2018 with a scandal came out of the SU-57 project with the Russians, but the Russians still brought him to Aero India 2025. which is planned in Bangalore from February 10 to 14. For the first time, this aircraft was shown in China, at Airshow China 2024, which took place in November in Zhuhai. About it writes Defense Express.

In China, the audience was able to approach the aircraft for the first time and remove it in detail from a close distance, the published footage shows a poor quality of joining the elements of fuselage and shutters, many different fasteners and more. Su-57 is now in India, and it seems unlikely that similar videos to those published after the air show in the PRC will appear before February 10, when the exhibition starts.

In the event that the Russian Federation is not able to organize a zone of access to access again, the authors of the publication say. "But with their arrival at Aero India 2025, the Russians left visitors without F-35 and F-16 demonstration flights. The fact is that at this exhibition, these American aircraft had to make demonstration flight Washington abolished their program, "-the authors say, citing the official Demo Team F-35 and F-16, posted on the US Air Force Command website.

It should be noted that India is one of the few countries that continues to buy Russian weapons without fear of sanctions from the United States, although the CAATSA law is in force, which must impose sanctions for military cooperation with the Russian Federation. For example, literally, India has purchased an anti -ship version of the 3M54 caliber missile. But the likelihood that the Russian Federation will be able to sell India Su-57 is minimal.

Back in 2007, India began working on the Russian Federation to localize this machine. But this was accompanied by differences, argued that the SO-57 was not a representative of the fifth generation at all, officially derived from the 2018 project. Moreover, in March 2024, India approved the project of its own fifth -generation fighter.
