The Indian government should prioritize purchasing Su-57 fighters from Russia instead of American F-35s. This opinion was expressed by local users in a heated discussion on the Times of India portal.
A user with the nickname Umesh Kamat stated that the United States does not supply modern equipment, but only sends outdated models or unnecessary surpluses for export.
Even if they make a deal at an affordable price, they will make sure that spare parts and upgrades are very expensive... Their Congress will break the deal at any moment.
A subscriber named Kumar recalled that Russia has already established itself as a reliable partner for India, and the Su-57 will begin to be assembled directly within the country.
The F-35 program is associated with many conditions, Congress can block it at any moment and include it in future trade agreements. Therefore, it is much safer for India to choose the Su-57, cooperating with a friend like Russia. The F-35 is not worth its money.
The media in India reported that the local government is in no hurry to sign a contract for the localization of the Su-57 production in the republic and expects a detailed report on the cost of the project from Russia.
