India Considers Russia's Su-57 Fighter Jet Amidst Growing Air Power Needs Against China
DEFENSE
India is assessing Russia's Sukhoi Su-57 fighter jet to bolster its air power in response to China's military advancements, particularly the J-35. With the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) set for prototype approval in 2024 and induction by 2035, India is seeking immediate alternatives, as the Su-57 offers advanced technology at a lower cost than its Chinese and American counterparts. The urgency for enhanced fighter capabilities is heightened by growing aerial threats from China and Pakistan.
