Индия может предпочесть американские F-35 российским Су-57 - ИА REGNUM
Translated by google
NEW DELHI , July 2, 2020 , 11:36 - REGNUM India may refuse to purchase Russian Su-57 Super Sukhoi fighters and give preference to the American F-35. Such a probability is reported by various military sources in India, as well as the Chinese edition of Sohu
The reasons for this possible step are the high cost of the upgraded version of the Su-57 Super Sukhoi. At the same time, the purchase of the basic version of the fighter by the Indian Air Force is not considered due to the "dampness" of this version.
Thus, the cost of the upgraded version of the Su-57, according to some reports, will vary from $ 150 million to $ 200 million. At the same time, the export value of the American F-35 is about $ 120-140 million. It is also noted that the Su-57 of the second stage is planned to be released only in 2024 year, so if India wants to buy these particular fighters, she will have to wait a few years.
As REGNUM reported earlier, it became known earlier that the Indian Air Force intends to acquire 21 Russian multipurpose supersonic fighter of the fourth generation Mig-29 from Russia. This will be done to replace the MiG-21 fighters currently in service with the Indian Air Force. It is possible that the supply of fighter jets may begin two years after the signing of an agreement with the Russian side.
