On Feb 10, for the first time, the tarmac of the Yelahanka Air Force Station near Bengaluru witnessed a breathtaking face-off: two of the world’s deadliest fighter jets, American F-35 and Russian Su-57, stood just meters apart.The Indian Air Force which is facing a shortage of fighter jets with squadron strength falling far below sanctioned levels is watching these fighters with keen interest.On Feb 11, Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) – the manufacturer, and Rosoboronexport – the country’s defense export agency – offered Sukhoi Su-57 to India with tech transfer and local production.On Feb 13, US President Donald Trump offered to sell the F-35 to India during his meeting with PM Modi.So, both of these cutting-edge jets are available to India but the Russian one is unlikely to make the cut.In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why the Indian Air Force may avoid Russian Su-57 fighter ? #defenseupdates #su57felon #su57 Chapters:00:11 INTRODUCTION02:05 NOT REALLY STEALTHY04:02 MANY TECHNOLOGICAL CHALLENGES STILL REMAIN05:09 NOT BATTLE-TESTED06:07 INDIA HAS SOME POOR EXPERIENCES WITH RUSSIAN PLATFORMS08:01 PROPER AMMUNITION MISSING
