Russia's plans to transfer the license for the production of the latest fifth-generation Su-57 fighters to India demonstrate a high level of confidence in domestic weapons abroad. Military expert Evgeny Mikhailov stated this to "Perviy Technicheskiy".
According to him, such projects are always a long game, for decades. In terms of thoroughness, they can be compared to the construction of nuclear power plants.
India has already produced equipment under Russian license, and Russia will receive considerable profit. All this speaks of confidence in Russian weapons, and the arms market is huge. All this is a good image move.
Russian Ambassador to New Delhi Denis Alipov stated that India plans to establish licensed production of the Su-57. According to the diplomat, this should accelerate the implementation of the Indian AMCA program to create its own fifth-generation fighters.
The Su-57 combat aircraft is completely independent of foreign components, emphasized Sergey Chemezov, head of the Rostec State Corporation.
