Russia Pitches Su-57E to India With ‘Unrestricted’ Tech Transfer and Licensed Production

The push follows UAC’s claim of two Su‑57E jets delivered to an unnamed customer as Moscow builds momentum before Putin’s December visit.

Overview

  • Rosoboronexport outlined a package for India that starts with Su‑57E deliveries from Russia and progresses to full licensed manufacture in India.
  • The offer includes what Moscow calls unrestricted transfer of fifth‑generation know‑how covering engines, AESA radar, sensors, AI elements, low‑signature technologies and modern air weapons.
  • Russian officials said India’s technical demands are completely acceptable and pledged support to integrate Indian munitions, with openness to co-develop a two‑seat variant.
  • United Aircraft Corporation said two export Su‑57E fighters have been delivered to an undisclosed foreign customer and are on combat duty, without naming the buyer.
  • The proposal was made publicly at the Dubai Airshow during a week of high‑level IndiaRussia engagements, with New Delhi yet to announce any decision.
