India Yet to Decide on Russia's Su-57 Fighter Jet, Says Defence Secretary

India has not yet made a decision on acquiring Russia's Su-57 stealth fighter jet, according to the country's Defence Secretary. Russia has been actively lobbying India to purchase the advanced aircraft, which was prominently displayed at Aero India in February 2025, Asia's largest airshow. As deliberations continue, India is reportedly exploring AI-powered network systems as a means to compensate for gaps in stealth capabilities. The development reflects India's cautious approach to major defence procurement decisions amid evolving strategic priorities.
