Lets be honest - there is NO pressure on India to buy the F-35 and there never was. You have to give them credit where its due. Even though they have bought quite a bit of US equipment (C-17 Globemaster III, Apaches, P-8 & Predetor Drones), but they have stayed clear of their Military Jets for the very reason known as: End-User Equipment.American pressure on India must be huge to buy F-35. For Trump America this is one way to compensate for huge trade deficit. Doubt the next administration will think differently.
.That question these hypocritical pieces of swine fecal matter can never answer.Excellent. If you believe all this, why are you here posting with such jittery trepidation?
They have no option other than the F-35 - because their own competent crew realize how the Su-57 offers them only an incremental jump since THEY EVALUATED IT INSIDE OUT.Lets be honest - there is NO pressure on India to buy the F-35 and there never was.

But the whole 5th Gen Topic has really picked up quite a lot of momentum in India in 2026.
Since last year's conflict & the a**-whopping they got at the hands of the PAF (with Chinese equipment), the big discussion is what is India/IAF planning on doing to close the gap on the potential arrival of the J-35A.
Now even though there hasn't been anything "Official", other than the tweet by the PM earlier this year - everything has been quite hush-hush on the whole J-35A acquisition.
Indians are so paranoid that you only hear their Defence Analysts talking about PAF Pilots currently getting trained on the J-35A - in China. And their source of info - [PDF].
On a lighter note..., when I casually spoke about the possibility of the Su-57 being inducted by the IAF (with our PAF guys) - they completely disregarded it. One called it an "over glorified Su-30" and that it does NOT bring any REAL threat.
We could expect IAF to have the Su-57 as early as Ops. Sindoor 3.0.
