India Rejects F-35 Program For Fifth-Generation Fighter
The Indian government has officially responded to remarks made by President Donald Trump describing the country as a 'hellhole.' Officials stated that the comments were uninformed and inappropriate. The reaction follows a period of diplomatic tension regarding the characterization of India's domestic conditions. India has decided to decline the American F-35 fighter jet program. The country is instead focusing on developing its own fifth-generation fighter aircraft. There are discussions regarding the potential production of the Su-57 on Indian territory to meet local requirements. The source noted that India's interest in Su-57 technology stems from its need for advanced combat aircraft.
