well, it was recently announced and apparently it’s in the final testing phase, hopefully, by the end of this year, there should be more info about it
Hi bad karma
I need to explain something to you!
The ZSH-10 helmet itself was created 10 years ago…but due to the peculiarities of the Russian fleet, it was first optimized for Sura and NSC-T/NSCI…
The current version is an analogue of HMDS(F-35)…

P.S…You do understand that these are official videos of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with censorship!?
By the way, Aero India-2025 reported that the first 12 Su-57E units will be delivered to Algeria by the end of 2025…
Damn…that was cool as hell.
NK will be next and possibly Iran, Russia know they need partners and customers to develop the airframe and free up funding for the Su-75 project.
They will have no doubt offered it to India again with full autonomy to customise the airframe including weapon systems.
I doubt only the Indian part, cause with MiG-29s, and even Su30s they had a horrible track record of crashing dozens of them. If that happens to Su57 I doubt they will ever be able to sell a single one after that. I mean the hundreds of MiG-21s that crashed is just…
India have money and are stalling on procuring new airframes. They operate the largest fleet of Su-30 that have been internally upgraded. They also have rights to manufacture them.
Russia need to stand behind their product like Lockheed, Boeing, Dassault and other do. They need customers to bring down the cost per unit. The manages US keeps the F-35 cost per unit bellow the cost of a Typhoon!
If you could sell the platform to India they would buy 50+ the injection of cash to Sukhoi to allow them to develop the programme further and to explore the Su-75 Checkmate and the S-70 okhotnik
True. I just think maybe they will think better of it knowing that India’s self maintained jets fell out of the sky at the rate of around 4 per year. That will damage the credit if SU57 becomes one in the future. I know about the funding issue, cause same applied to why Su30 MKK/MKIs were a thing in the first place but they probably need to consider the Rafale purchase as well.

I don’t doubt it! I also do not know how China would feel with Russia one of Chinas partners providing their Gen 5 airframe to India who are not on great terms with China.
I don’t think it will come that fast. Not until 2030 likely when Indian Su57s form any sort of fighting capability. China generally would hate that happening but meanwhile India saying Rafales are better than J-20…
They would probably sell more. If it wasn’t for US trying to sanction everyone that buy thing from Russia.
Didn’t they solve their problem in the last [BRICS] ?(Modi and Xi agree to resolve differences, boost India-China ties)?
India is rare. A lot of info that come from them its way too optimistic. Like the new Radar for the Su-30mki that have 2400 GaN T/M. for Example the AESA on Chinese J-16 have around 1800 T/M. That its on IRBIS lv.
France refused (despite initial agreements) to transfer the technology and assembly license to India…
Therefore, India bought 36 units (one air wing) and how many marine ones that’s all!
Over the past year and a half, India has additionally ordered 36 sets of Su-30MKI in a configuration similar to the Su-30SM2 And 85 AL-41F-1C engines… and is carrying out another modernization of the MiG-29UPG (with a service life until 2037)…
India has outsmarted itself…Pakistan is buying the J-35 and India needs to decide urgently on the choice of a new generation fighter…
According to the most optimistic forecasts, its own program cannot be implemented before 2030…
By this time, China will have 1,500 J-20s, and Pakistan will have about a hundred J-35s…
I think they will pick F-35 then.
Sure, it’s had its fair share of issues but it’s improving, and also it’s readily available as there’s already a lot of production for it
With what engine?. ATM J-35 its on the same boat as Su-57. WS-21 is not bad. But with WS-19 engine J-35s will be a beast that would humiliate the F-35 it “copy”.
well F-35 is set to get improved engines too, so we will have to see
The United States offered the F-35 to India after a brief hesitation, three weeks after the Su-57 was shown in Zhuhai-24 (let me remind you that previously only the F-16(F-21) was offered…
The choice will depend on factors such as partial production./Transfer of some technologies/Israeli, Indian equipment/Long-range missiles analogous to the R-37M and cruise missiles analogous to the Kh-69…The possibility of integrating Indian missiles…
There are also political issues such as the current US administration threatening various sanctions against the BRICS countries…
At the same time, the Su-57 arrived in Bangalore at the request of the Indian side (pilot S. Bogdan had a special condition)…
The United States also abandoned the flight program for the F-16/F-35 in Bangalore…
Pakistan has announced plans to purchase the J-35A in December 2024, so there are no details yet.but it is known that Pakistan wants the same equipment as the Chinese Air Force, not an export version of it…

They wont pick the F-35, Lockheed wont allow them integration of their weapon systems.
RAF is a tier 1 partner and they still havent got Meteor or SPEAR or Brimstone integrated on F-35.
India will require autonomy to customise and tailor the aircraft to meet their needs.
Not everything is so clear (yes, some big ranks of the Indian Air Force are behind the Su-57), but the United States can offer a lower price, including for weapons and equipment, as well as economic, technological and political bonuses in other areas.
Personally, I would buy at least 36 units for one F-35 wing (to study technology) and combine the AMSA and Su-57 programs to create a promising Indian-designed aircraft, because India still needs a heavy-class fighter like the F-22/J-20 and Su-57…
So far the situation with the F-35 /The Su-57 looks like a fifty fifty…
