India may be allowed to produce Russian Su-57 fighter jets, and Russia is actively courting a major defense buyer.

A source from Russia's foreign military-technical cooperation system revealed that India may decide to produce the Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jet under license. Russia has submitted a proposal on this, and India is seriously considering it. Early this year, there were reports that Russia agreed to produce the Su-57E in India. The reason why Russia is so eager for India to produce the Su-57E is obviously to tightly hold onto India, a major arms buyer. Of course, Russia has this opportunity, thanks in part to President Trump. Because of Trump's strong pressure on India, India no longer considers purchasing the F-35 from the United States, so Russia's opportunity has come.
