Russian Su-57 Aircraft Thread (PAK-FA and IAF FGFA)

Interesting post from Piotr about Putin's upcoming visit to India:

The main target of the Su-57's PR campaign in Dubai a week ago was India. The photo shows a special presentation of the fighter jet for Indian media. In three days, Putin begins his visit to India, where he will offer the Su-57. India has already rejected the Su-57 once.

And even though I see it more as yet another desperate attempt by Russia to show that it's still around, even if there's not much evidence of that anymore... I can't imagine India will go along with it again. However there is indeed a lot of pressure from the Indian public, is that really a solution?

Russia is still the 3rd world power aviation wise after China and US, no amount of western cope is going to change that. Not too bad considering they literally experienced their own badly damaging cultural revolution disruption for the decade plus after 1991, and considering they have roughly 1/9 of PRC and 1/2-ish of US population, and 1/6th and 1/4th respectively of PPP GDP.

Let's wait and see, why rush things? India is usually not a country where things happen fast
