In India, they announced the complete abandonment of Russian Su-57 fighters.

The Indian media published material stating that the Indian Air Force has finally abandoned the Russian Su-57 fighters, which not only do not satisfy Delhi with their characteristics and capabilities, but also have a fairly high cost. As a “worthy replacement” for the Russian Su-57, India introduced its fifth-generation combat aircraft.

According to media reports, the development of the fifth-generation Indian fighter is already underway, while the fighter can be demonstrated for the first time before the end of the next decade, while this combat aircraft will have to make its first flight by the year 2032.

The characteristics of their fifth-generation combat fighter in India are not disclosed, however, according to some reports, we are talking about a supersonic aircraft created using "stealth" technologies.

Nevertheless, independent analysts are very skeptical, believing that, at best, the fifth generation fighter will not enter service with the Indian Air Force until 2040.

“India is not particularly famous for the development of combat aircraft. Even if by 2040 this country will acquire its own fifth generation fighter, Russia, China and the United States will already have sixth generation fighters. ", - said the analyst Avia.pro.
