For Morons Who Still Don't Get it...

 ... this is Chakra 2 SSN. 

Project 971 Nerpa SSN. State-of-the-art nuke which served in Indian Navy for almost 10 years. Before that, that was Chakra 1.0. Project 670 SSGN and command-navigational circuit of Indian Navy of this sub was trained in my naval academy in 1980s. So, this issue of Su-57 and technology transfer rises again. Well, Palki Sharma is correct--India will get all of it, and even more. 

This was always the history. But then again--can the US offer India S-500? Of course, not. The US is still struggling with getting anywhere near shooting down subsonic, forget about supersonic, let alone hypersonic targets. This is NOT to say that the US has nothing to offer, even today American commercial jets, some cars, other technologies are highly valued around the world (often for a good reason), but in military field the US is not even in the strike range of India, deploying 1,000 + km high supersonic Brahmos missiles and getting ready to deploy hypersonic weapons. Can the US provide India with even older Virginia-class SSNs? Of course, not. But ..., but ... Ah, yes, all those other things like energy et al. Do you get my drift? Fork in the road for India. 

Air Power Fanboys ...

 ... must be in shock. 

UAC handed over two Su-57 fighters to a foreign customer The aircraft "have begun combat duty and are demonstrating their best qualities," said Vadim Badekha, general director of the United Aircraft Corporation. 

Algeria? 

"Our foreign customer, our foreign partner, has already received the first two aircraft. They have begun to carry out combat duty and demonstrate their best qualities. Our customer is satisfied," Badekha said.

Well, well, well. It also tells you a lot about the production rate of UAC. 

Many Indians Want This Aircraft ...

... for their AF. In Bangalore, Mr. Bogdan demonstrates Su-57E at Aero India 2025. Damn, he is 60 years old, I am 62 and it takes sometimes a huge effort to lift may ass from the chair, while experiencing 1 G ... 

Russians are ready to discuss production of export version of Su-57 at HAL facilities. Something tells me Indians will want this machine. 

Yes! And?

The development of export version of SU-57 was inevitable, and India was the recipient of the Soviet/Russian technology for many decades, including unprecedented lease of two nuclear subs. 

A Russian stealth fighter aircraft arrived in India on Thursday as Moscow readied to offer New Delhi, which is China's geopolitical rival, cooperation on the advanced jet project.  Newsweek has contacted the Russian and Indian defense ministries and the Chinese Foreign Ministry for comment by email.

Here is Su-57E arriving today at Bangalore for Aero India 2025 show. 

It is all absolutely normal development, plus China will try avoiding buying this due to status and trying to develop her own genuine (stress on genuine) 5th Generation fighter. So, all fair and square. Same goes for "lighter" Su-75 fighter. And while losers and BSers from pseudo military-analytical (euphemism for amateur masturbators to military toys) resource 1945 continue to cope (I speak about their "experts" in my today's video), Russia will present Su-75 in India. Two of the working prototypes have been built. Yes, Russia is not just competitor for the West in weapons, she offers things which neither US nor Europoodles produce. 

Some Sidelined News.

Relatively sidelined, relative to a chaos in Afghanistan which now occupies all media 24/7. But life goes on and for richer customers Russia flies in Turkey an export version of SU-57E (in Russian), which will be shown at the IDEF' 21 exhibition which opens tomorrow in Istanbul. It is the 15th time that IDEF'21 is held, and it is not accidental that it will be presented in Turkey. Mr. Erdogan was already treated to SU-57 before and you remember his question to Putin, right? 

"We're Buying This One?" Turkey's Erdogan Asks Putin In Front Of Su-57 Fighter At Air Show

Something tells me, the first export contract for SU-57 could be signed with Turkey. 

I know, I know, there are many objections, some of them valid, regarding Turkey getting her hands on the top notch military technology, but remember--the name of the game is not just cash, a lot of it, and prestige, and I am sure Turkish Air Force would love to fly sexy SU-57. No, at issue here is Eurasia's colossal market and opportunities it provides for those who are involved, and you know it is always quid-pro-quo. Turks are smart people and they know big profit when they see it--forming Eurasian market offers saliva-inducing opportunities across the board--from energy, to agriculture, to transport, to aerospace. Especially after Turkey's decades-long and futile bid to join EU. Well, in Eurasia, Turks will be treated as equals and as long as Turkey behaves herself, there are plenty of rewards, not least of which is a security provided through both alliances and cutting edge military technology. 

In the end, Russians love Turkish resorts and, in a tragic event, the crew of Russian Be-200 plus Turkish engineers perished few days ago, when one of the Beriev planes, which helps to fight Turkey's immense fires, went down. Many of those fires are around Turkey's coastal resort towns, which Russian love to visit. Massive evacuations of population and vacationers took place recently there. So, in general, there is a lot what is going on there and Turks definitely appreciate Russia's help. But since we are all still in unfolding situation in Kabul, listen what Douglas Macgregor has to say to Tucker starting from 2:54. 

I warned about it for some many times, that I lost count. The worst event that could have happened to the United States was this easy swift victory over utterly incompetent Iraq's Army, which convinced always mediocre intellectually, and utterly ignorant militarily, American political-class, that they know how to fight a war. They don't, they never did, even the history they study is primarily exceptionalist propaganda and mythology. So, Macgregor basically tells it as it is. Now FOX complains the National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan never held a real job in his life, really, really? That's 99% of US media-political establishment, a bunch of freeloaders, some of them with such "degrees" as Bachelor of Science in...Home Economics. That's the background of Marsha Blackburn, a senior senator from Tennessee. I am sure that's the kind of people who fit perfectly all necessities of a current dysfunctional American state. Wait till Ph.Ds in Critical Race Theory and Ph.Ds in safe-spacing will take the helm. Boy, we will have so much fun.
