starting this year we'll be increasing

military sales to India by many billions

ultimately provide India with the F-35
0:12
Fighters the F-35 stealth fighter was
0:15
offered to India by US president Donald
0:18
Trump on February 14th Russia has also
0:21
extended an offer to India for its Sue
0:23
57 fifth generation fighter this offer
0:27
is in addition to the s75 light stealth
0:30
fighter which Russia offered to India a
0:32
few years back the recently concluded AO
0:35
India 2025 exhibit marked the first time
0:37
in history that F-35 and s57 fighter
0:40
aircraft were in attendance for more
0:43
than two decades India has been
0:45
attempting the acquisition of 114 fourth
0:48
generation Fighters nevertheless the
0:51
situation has since evolved and China
0:53
India's arch rival has a number of
0:56
generation aircraft models in operation
1:00
Pakistan a long-standing rival of India
1:02
has also disclosed its intention to
1:04
acquire j35 stealth fighters from China
1:08
India is in the process of developing
1:09
its own fifth generation Fighter the
1:11
amca advanced medium combat aircraft and
1:15
may opt to prioritize indigenous
1:17
Solutions over the import of costly
1:19
foreign platforms along with an
1:21
invitation to participate in the global
1:23
combat air program Gap from the UK Japan
1:27
Italy Consortium India has reportedly
1:29
received offers from Germany and Spain
1:32
to join their sixth generation future
1:34
combat air system fcas program the s57
1:37
may be appealing to India if it
1:39
prioritizes cost Effectiveness and air
1:42
superiority for the same capital
1:44
investment India could acquire a greater
1:46
number of su 57s than f-35s and it would
1:50
also benefit from reduced operating
1:52
expenses India may be offered local
1:54
licensed production of the Sue 57 by
1:57
Russia in a manner similar to the sue3
1:59
mki production by Hindustan Aeronautics
2:02
Limited in the past the Indian Air Force
2:05
has not always had a positive experience
2:07
with Russian Imports particularly in
2:10
terms of after sales support and
2:13
maintainability nevertheless Russia has
2:15
been providing India with its
2:17
state-of-the-art aircraft which have
2:19
performed exceptionally well during the
2:21
conflicts the F-35 is a better choice
2:24
for India if it is interested in network
2:26
Centric Warfare Advanced stealth and a
2:29
strong relationship with the West the
2:32
procurement of the F-35 may be
2:34
Complicated by India's current inventory
2:36
of Russian equipment including the S400
2:39
air defense system throughout history
2:42
India has depended on Russian and Soviet
2:44
military hardware such as Fighters like
2:49
mig29 significant modifications to
2:52
infrastructure training and maintenance
2:54
would be necessary to transition to a
2:56
us-made platform such as the F35
3:00
the United States is guarded in its
3:02
sharing of sensitive technology even
3:04
with close allies as the F35 is one of
3:07
the most advanced fighters in the world
3:10
India's make in India initiative which
3:12
mandates technology transfer as a
3:14
component of Defense contracts may prove
3:17
to be an obstacle vicam misy the Indian
3:19
foreign secretary emphasizes that a
3:21
formal process must be followed for
3:24
military procurements and that it has
3:26
not yet commenced the F-35 is costly
3:29
with a price PR tag of 80100 million per
3:32
unit however it is equipped with global
3:34
logistics support the s57 is more cost
3:38
effective costing approximately $50
3:41
million however Russia's reliability and
3:44
maintenance support may be
3:46
unpredictable at the same time the
3:48
United States has a history of denying
3:50
spares and support for its export
3:52
equipment and enacting sanctions in
3:54
terms of warfare the s57 will be more
3:57
advantageous for India when it confronts
3:59
its smaller neighbor Pakistan due to the
4:02
fact that flight durations are
4:03
significantly shorter and there is a
4:05
high likelihood of a dog fight it is not
4:08
anticipated that Pakistani j35 will be
4:11
technologically advanced due to cost
4:13
considerations and dependence on Chinese
4:17
electronics concurrently both the F35
4:20
and s57 aircraft would prove
4:22
advantageous in the context of the
4:24
conflict with China although both
4:26
aircraft are capable of launching
4:28
long-range weapons the s57 has an
4:31
advantage the US might not authorize
4:33
India to use the F-35 if it fears that
4:36
its relations might escalate with China
4:39
we have seen this in Ukraine on flights
4:41
over tibet's rare fight atmosphere
4:43
Chinese stealth Fighters are expected to
4:45
lag behind Russian and US ones the US
4:49
and Russian aircraft are anticipated to
4:51
be able to navigate the Tibetan airspace
4:54
more effectively as a result of their
4:56
potent engines India may also evaluate
4:59
alternative options such as the doot
5:01
Rafal and Euro Fighter typhoon or
5:04
continue to develop its own fifth
5:06
generation Emma to meet its immediate
5:08
requirements now do you think India
5:11
should concentrate on making its own
