Putin’s India visit puts Su-57 stealth jets, extra S-400 firepower on table

Business Standard

December 03, 2025

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s two-day state visit to India beginning Thursday will see bilateral defence cooperation advance further, with the possible supply to New Delhi of Russian Sukhoi Su-57 stealth jets and additional S-400 air defence units — used during Operation Sindoor — expected on the agenda.

Russia is also being considered a partner for expanded co-production of military hardware, despite its share in India’s arms imports halving over the past 15 years, even as it remains the country’s largest supplier.

Putin is visiting India for the 23rd India-Russia Annual Summit at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“The issue of Su-57s certainly will be on the agenda during the coming visit,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday at an online press briefing organised by Russia's Sputnik News, in response to a question on whether Russia had made any offer to India for supplying the stealth jets. However, these are understood to be exploratory talks, with an agreement unlikely to be formalised during the current visit.
