F-35 or Su-57: Which 5th-Gen Fighter Should India Bet On? My Two Cents May 26/2025 Time: 43:00 pm  Posted By - Technology & Defense Team  I’ve been fascinated by military aviation since I was a kid, watching grainy footage of MiGs and Sukhois screaming across the sky during Republic Day parades. So when I started thinking about India’s potential 5th-generation fighter options, I couldn’t help but dive deep into the F-35 Lightning II and the Sukhoi Su-57 Felon. These two jets are beasts in their own right, but they’re built with very different philosophies—and India’s choice here could shape our air force for decades. Let me break it down and share why I’m leaning one way over the other. 5th Gen Fighters of Russia and U.S Stealth and Design: Hiding vs. Dancing in the Sky The F-35, built by Lockheed Martin, is like a ninja. It’s all about stealth—its radar cross-section is tiny, thanks to its angular design and radar-absorbing materials. I read somewhere that it’s about as d...
