🇷🇺🇮🇳Russian President Putin says we offered our friend India to build Su-57 together, but our friend chose not to join, so we made it alone.

Putin added that Russia has no problem with India and is ready to work together, which also applies to the S-500 air defense system.

Admin Comment - What Putin fails to mention here is that they were not ready to share Intellectual Property rights with India regarding certain Su57 components which would have affected India, so India chose to develop its own!! Also, Su57 has a larger RCS with respect to stealth aircrafts!!
