India wants to buy fifth-generation fighters and is facing the happy problem of choosing between Russian or American models, or developing its own, which is too complicated.
According to a report from India's national television on July 8, during an interview with Defense Minister Rajesh Kumar Singh that day, he stated that due to the difficulty of developing fifth-generation fighters and actual needs, India plans to purchase hundreds of foreign fifth-generation fighters first as an emergency measure.
As for India's first F35B aircraft, it will soon be dismantled and returned to London by its owner. Now India has roughly understood the performance of the F35, and the strict conditions for using American weapons. This will make the Su-57 very likely to win in this game. After all, Russia's promise to provide India with three Su-57s within the year is very tempting.
