Chief test pilot Ajay Menon, who flies Sukhoi Su-30 MKI fighter jets, claims there have been no complaints regarding the Russian planes

At first glance, the photograph of two fighter jets — one parked on the tarmac and other zooming past it in the air — appears entirely commonplace.

Russia has offered to make its fifth-generation stealth fighter jet Sukhoi Su-57 in India for the Indian Air Force, a Russian and an Indian official said on Tuesday, as Moscow looks to boost defence ties with New Delhi.

The Russian Su-57 and American F-35 stealth fighters come together for the first time at Aero India 2025. One of the key highlights is the presence of the Russian Su-57 and the American F-35 Lightning II together for the first time at an aviation exhibition.
