Su-57 stealth fighter jet: Russia has given an important proposal to India in the defense sector. Moscow wants his most advanced SU-57 stealth fighter jet be prepared in India itself. For this, Russia is studying investment possibilities. Russia’s SU-57, America’s F-35 and China’s J-20 are considered competitive.

Fifth generation multi-roll jet

SU-57 is a fifth generation multi-roll fighter jet developed by Sukhoi company of Russia. NATO has named it ‘Felon’. The jet took his first flight in 2010 and joined the Russian Air Force in 2020. This wind, land and sea – can fight on all three fronts. Russia currently has 21 production models and an order of 76 has been ordered. This jet has also been used in Ukraine War.

The specialty and technology of su-57

SU-57 includes stealth technology, whose radar reflective surface is only 0.1 square meters. It has two AL-41F1 engines, which has a maximum speed of 2,450 km/h. This fighter jet can carry up up to 10 tons of weapons, including air-to-air and cruise missiles. Equipped with N036 Byelka AESA radar and AI assisted systems, this jet provides 360 ° coverage. Its price is around $ 50 million per jet, which is quite affordable compared to F-35. The SU-57 is a nuclear capable and can operate into “Loyal Wingman” mode with drones.

New chapter of India-Russia Defense Cooperation

The defense cooperation of India and Russia is decades old. 60% of India’s weapons are associated with Russian technology. SU-30mki is a big example of this, which is made in hal Nashik. In 2007, both countries started the FGFA project, but India did not join it in 2018. Now Russia has again introduced the offer of SU-57e. It was showcased at the Aero India show in February 2025. Russia has indicated that local production of SU-57 can be started by upgrading the HAL Nashik plant, which will also include technology transfer.

India’s strength and challenges

This deal can also help India’s AMCA project, whose first flight is fixed till 2028 and commissioning 2035. If the deal is confirmed, then India can get 20–30 su-57 jets in the next 3-4 years. Local production will increase employment and India will get the ability to make Fifth Generation Jet. However, technology will have to be investigated and the threat of international sessions will have to be taken into account.

Britain’s F-35B Style Fighter Jet had to make an emergency landing on Sunday due to a malfunction at Kagoshima Airport in Southwest Japan. In June, emergency jet was landing in Kerala. Standing there for more than a month. Now the latest incident took place at around 11:30 am local time. The runway remained closed for about 20 minutes and several commercial flights lasted late. During this time there is no news of anyone being injured.

Accident during joint military exercise
The malfunction occurred when the British Army was participating in the joint exercise started on August 4 with Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force and the US Army. This practice will run till Tuesday. For this exercise, Britain has sent an aircraft carrier strike group to Western Pacific.

HMS Prince of Wales Operation
According to Japanese broadcaster NHK, the Ministry of Defense said that it was operating from Jet Royal Navy’s aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales. This career has been on Indo-Pacific deployment since April and has stayed at many ports in the Mediterranean, Middle East, South-East Asia, Japan and Australia.

Second case in two months
This is another such case in the last two months. Another British F-35B, which flying from HMS Prince of Wales on 14 June also, had to make an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram Airport in Kerala due to hydrophic malfunction.

Chinese and Russian media
The government media of China and Russia has taunted the latest incident. Russia’s Sputnik India account posted on X, “British F-35 again Emergency Landing … A few weeks ago, a F-35 was stuck in India, now the second was forced to emergency landing at Kagoshima Airport in Japan. Emergency landing is gathering like a memorial.”

China explained complex technical and maintenance challenges
China’s official Global Times claimed that these malfunctions highlight the “extremely complex systems and difficult maintenance” of the F-35B, which the UK marks can make it difficult to deal with “distant marine missions.” The Beijing-operated newspaper quoted Chinese expert Wang Yanan as saying that F-35B is the most technically complex edition of the family and offers “serious maintenance challenges during a long career operation”.

F-35B fifth generation fighter aircraft
F-35B is the fifth generation only fighter aircraft, which has a capacity of short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL). It is highly capable of operating with small decks, limited locations and vessels. In the British Army it is called ‘Lightning’ and is specially designed to fly and land from short-field base and naval ships.

J35-A: In today’s changing global security situation, military technology is developing rapidly. Recently, just as Iran demonstrated its military ability with a long-range ballistic missile like ‘Khorramshahr-4’, similarly Pakistan is also rapidly arming itself with weapons keeping in mind its neighbors. Especially, modern weapons and fighter jets getting Pakistan from China have brought the strength of its Air Force to new heights. The most popular name among these weapons is J-35A Stealth Fighter Jet.

What is J-35A?

J-35A is a next generation stealth fighter jet, which China has developed with the help of its domestic defense producer Avic (Aviation Industry Corporation of China). It is placed in the category of fifth generation fighter jets, which is technically considered equivalent to the US F-35. This aircraft with Pakistan will not only strengthen its aerial power but will also give it more confidence in front of rival countries like India.

Technical strength and stealth technology

The biggest feature of J-35A is its stealth technology. Its design is such that it does not come easily in the grip of the radar, so that it can enter the enemy’s area and complete the mission without holding it. The aircraft is equipped with dual engine and can reach 1.8 Mac. It can operate in the range of more than 2000 km in the air.

Weapon system

This fighter jet has air-to-air missiles, air-hit laser-guided bombs and advanced radar systems. It includes long distance missiles like PL-15 and PL-10 which have the ability to eliminate enemy fighter jets from a long distance. This gives Pakistan the strength to kill the target from long distances.

Threat to India?

If Pakistan incorporates modern fighter jets like J-35A in its fleet, it can become a strategic threat to India. Although India has advanced fighter jets like Rafael and Tejas, Pakistan’s growing strength cannot be taken lightly with the help of China.

British f-35b emergency landing: The emergency landing of England’s Royal Navy’s F-35B (Lightning) fighter jet in Kerala’s Trivandrum has raised a big question. The question is whether this fifth generation fighter aircraft, which is called invisible by the US and England, is really the abilities that are claimed? Because the Indian Air Force has officially stated that their Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACS) not only detected this F-35, but also identified.

India’s air defense strength was seen in Operation Sindoor
This is the same IACS system that thwarted all the air strikes of Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. Now the question is arising that is India’s air defense system so capable that it also recognizes Stealth Fighter Jet?

How did emergency landing?
HMS Wales is currently posted in the Arabian Sea and was out of India’s Air Defense IdeeCshen Zone (ADIDED). The F-35B fighter jet had failed to land on the aircraft career repeatedly late Saturday night. In such a situation, the aircraft took emergency diversion and started flying towards Trivandrum. As soon as this, the ICCS of the Air Force detected the F-35 and sent Sukhoi fighter jet to fly immediately. During that time the pilot of F-35 explained the reason for diversion. Only after this, F-35B was allowed to land in Trivandrum.

Is F-35 really stealth?
The US and England claim that F-35B has been designed in such a way that it remained invisible. The radar cross section of F-35 is considered very low, due to which it does not get caught in any radar. To make stealth, its engine and turbine have been fully masked (covered). Even its weapons (missiles etc.) have been integrated into the inner parts of the fighter jet, the rest of the fighter jets are out of the weapons, which appear and the radar holds immediately.

F-35 was also told further than Rafael
Just two days ago, Eric Trappier, CEO of French company Dassault, described Rafale Fighter Jet as better and advanced than F-35 and all China’s fighter jets. Now India’s success has proved that our detection technology is not less than anyone. The Indian Air Force said that F-35B is being given necessary technical assistance so that it can return to HMS Wales again.
