According to a Russian official, Russia is prepared to support India's need for fighter aircraft and has offered to transfer technology of its fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighter jet to the country.
Speaking on the fringes of the Dubai Air Show 2025, Sergey Chemezov, CEO of the Russian government-owned defense company Rostec, stated that Moscow is willing to support Delhi's defense needs and that the country has good connections with India.
Russia and India have been allies for a long time. We provided India with weaponry to maintain its security even when it was subject to sanctions. Sergey Chemezov told ANI, "Today, we continue the same approach as in previous years, supplying India with whatever military equipment it needs and ensuring our mutual interests in developing cooperation."

The CEO of Rostec responded, "We have strong relations with India, and whatever India requires, we are here to support," when asked if there has been any official communication from India regarding the Su-57 or more S400 systems.
The statement is made when Jaishankar is in Russia, where he met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, President Vladimir Putin, and attended the summit of SCO heads of state.
The Kremlin's response to the American F-35 stealth fighter jets is the Su-57, a twin-engine, fifth-generation stealth multirole fighter aircraft. The Russian fighter can engage both airborne and ground targets and is built for air superiority and attack missions.Russia promises to give Su-57 technology to India.
According to ANI, Vadim Badekha, Director General of United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), a subsidiary of Rostec, stated that India's technical needs and concerns about the Su-57 have been seen favorably.
Rosoboronexport, Russia's state arms exporter, offers India "both license production of air weapons for future generation aircraft and integration of Indian weapons," according to a senior representative of the company.
According to him, Russia and the UAC are giving India the Su-57 made in Russia, coupled with a plan to gradually transfer production to India.
According to him, Rosoboronexport provides "technology transfer" and "technological learning of few generation technologies, including engines, optics, AESA radar, AI elements, low signature technologies, and modern air weapons."
