It marks a “milestone in global defence collaboration” and technological advancement, offering aviation enthusiasts and defence experts an unparalleled prospect to witness these state-of-the-art warplanes, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

“Aero India 2025 will provide a rare side-by-side comparison of eastern and western fifth-generation fighter technology, offering defence analysts, military personnel and aviation enthusiasts valuable insights into their respective capabilities,” it said.<\/p>\n
Describing the Su-57 aircraft, it said, “Russia’s premier stealth multi-role fighter” is designed for stellar air superiority and strike capabilities.<\/p>\n
“Equipped with advanced avionics, supercruise capability, and stealth technology, it is making its debut at Aero India 2025. Visitors can expect high-speed aerial manoeuvres and tactical demonstrations that highlight the fighter’s agility, stealth and firepower,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
