Now getting Su-57 one thing, it not gonna be easy, first you have negotiate everything from ToT, engine m supply parts, source code and micro-systems, then there is few years to even set-up enough infra to take these things materialize and not even mentioning CAATSA, which can give ameritards reason to stop suppling engines for LCA and stop apache supply line.K
So I'm a bit skeptical about this news, it feels like one of those speculative things being hailed as fact. Now one thing here is buying any critical piece of defense tech fron usa is pure stupidity, IMO we have two options
First actually go for su-57 with all the issue and threat of US reprisal
second focus on your own tech , like really invest in engine , which would cost no less than 20-40 billion , TOT is a imaginary lollipop that doesn't work, I don't think we are getting any engine TOT from anyone other than Russians.
while we're sorting out engine issues, focus on trying to maintain offensive capability through things like Hypersonic CMs, long-range drones.
Another thing, we have to make some lists of things we need to do ASAP, I think pakis need another round of ass beating, a good ass beating no less, just to put fear in them.
