Russia has expressed its commitment to assist India with defence capabilities, including technology transfer for the Su-57 stealth fighter jet.
Russia has offered India whatever defence capabilities it may require, including the technology transfer of the fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighter jet, a Russian official said.
Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Russia’s state-owned defence corporation Rostec, speaking at the Dubai Air Show 2025, said New Delhi and Moscow share strong ties, adding that Russia is willing to support India’s defence needs.
“India and Russia have been partners for many years. Even when India was under sanctions, we supplied the country with weapons to ensure its security. 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,” Sergey Chemezov told ANI, speaking on the sidelines of the Dubai Air Show 2025.
