India refused to develop a 5 fighter aircraft based on Su-57

India called a joint project with Russia unpromising.

Tonight, in the Chinese network publication East Day, information appeared that the Indian authorities have officially abandoned the implementation of a joint project with Russia for a 5th generation fighter based on the Su-57 aircraft. It is reported that India called the project unpromising and completely abandoned it, although no official confirmation of this information from Russia has yet been received.

Earlier, India repeatedly reproached Russian aircraft builders for the fact that fighter 5-th generation Su-57 does not meet expectations, which, according to independent analysts, was most likely done to reduce costs and obtain more favorable conditions for cooperation.

It should be clarified that the project to create the 5 fighter FGFA was supported by India during the last 11, which means that this country will either have to independently seek a new partner, or completely abandon plans to create an 5-generation aircraft.

"If India really refused to create an 5 fighter on the Su-57 base, it could mean that such an aircraft will not be in service with the Indian Air Force for at least 10 years", - the military analyst Avia.pro believes.

India is highly prone to the influence of small hills.

The Indians simply will not pull this program, given their "successes" in creating their own national fighter Tejas, which in appearance is quite similar to the French Raphael and most likely has a lot in common with him. Tejas has been in development since 1983. Until now, it is a small-scale aircraft that is not very popular with the Indian Air Force. The Indians do not have the necessary engineering school to actually pull a 5th generation fighter.

There is always F-35, the truth that regularly sends telemetry without asking the owner and which, if necessary, can be disabled (brought to inoperable state) by its real master - the USA!
But on its own, India's fifth-generation aircraft can not be developed for at least a quarter of a century, since there are no developments and, moreover, a tremendous experience in creating such equipment, as well as know-how with the necessary materials (alloys, etc ...).
So they apparently decided not to bathe, but to buy ready, in the old-fashioned way!

Let me remind you that India is on its own and supplies of weapons are not only from Russia, but also from the United States.
This means that no one will share the secrets from our side. And from this it follows that it is not surprising that Indians pay money for the development. Quite a balanced system of mutual business management.

I did not expect from Hindus - they start behaving like Turks.
