India in Advanced Negotiations with Russia for Licensed Production of Su-57 Fighter Jets
India and Russia are reportedly in advanced negotiations for the licensed production of the Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet. This development signals a potential revival of a partnership that previously stalled under the former FGFA program. The Su-57 has since matured, gaining combat experience and incorporating new technologies, making it a more attractive option for the Indian Air Force. A successful deal would provide India with a heavyweight stealth fighter to complement its own developing aircraft programs. The negotiations focus on local manufacturing in India, which would significantly bolster its domestic defense industry.
