Event Summary

Russia has offered India unrestricted technology transfer and joint development for its fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighter aircraft. The offer, made by Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec, at the Dubai Air Show 2025, includes licensed production, integration of Indian weapons, and transfer of key technologies such as engines, optics, AESA radar, AI elements, and low-signature technologies. Vadim Badekha, Director General of United Aircraft Corporation, confirmed that all Indian demands are 'completely acceptable.' This proposal also includes the joint development of a two-seat version of the Su-57E or FGFA, allowing India to manufacture critical components domestically and ensure long-term upgrades. The move underscores a six-decade-long defense partnership between Russia and India, with Russian officials emphasizing reliability and transparency in technology transfer. This development comes ahead of Vladimir Putin's visit to India next month, following recent high-level diplomatic engagements, including S. Jaishankar's meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Nikolai Patrushev's meeting with Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
