Reports suggest that Rosoboronexport has hinted at possible export orders for the Sukhoi Su-57, with speculation that India could be among the potential buyers. However, there is no official confirmation from India yet.
At the same time, India remains deeply committed to its larger fighter acquisition plan centered on the Dassault Rafale. The proposed deal for 114 Rafale jets under the MRFA program is currently under evaluation and scrutiny, and it is expected to be a top priority for the Indian Air Force.
However, due to global demand and production timelines, deliveries are likely only after 2030. This creates a serious near-term challenge. The Indian Air Force is currently operating with a reduced number of fighter squadrons, well below its sanctioned strength.
This shortfall raises concerns about maintaining adequate airpower across multiple fronts, especially given evolving regional threats.
