On February 10, the public witnessed two main fighter models from the US and Russia appearing together at the Indian air show (Aero India 2025).
The first day of the five-day air show in India saw the F-35 and Su-57 fighter jets from the US and Russia perform aerial displays. The simultaneous appearance of the two aircraft became one of the highlights of the opening day, as this was the first time two main fighters from two leading military powers met each other. The exhibition took place at the Yelahanka air base in the Indian city of Bengaluru.

According to The Economics Times , both the F-35 and Su-57 wowed the audience at the air show with their short takeoff and maneuverability. The Indian Ministry of Defense said the Su-57 would provide visitors with “high-speed aerial displays and tactical demonstrations highlighting its agility, stealth and firepower.” Meanwhile, the F-35 was described as “the most widely deployed fifth-generation fighter, integrating advanced stealth, situational awareness and superior cyber warfare capabilities.”

Both the US and Russia are keen to strengthen military cooperation with India and the exhibition is also significant as New Delhi plans to buy more than 100 multi-role fighters, a move that has attracted many major defence contractors. This is also the first time the Su-57 has been introduced at an exhibition in India.
Aero India 2025 is also a place for India to showcase its aircraft and weapons models, as well as for many defense companies to introduce weapons and equipment to reach potential customers.
Two models of the Air Lora hypersonic missile and the Wind Demon air-to-ground cruise missile of Israel Aerospace Industries were displayed at the exhibition.
