In the 1990s, China introduced the production line for the Su-27. At that time, Russia was facing economic difficulties, making it a win-win situation. China learned from the design and production experience of the Su-27 and quickly developed a series of important systems independently, ultimately resulting in the domestically developed J-11B. China did not obtain core technology from Russia; everything was reverse-engineered or developed independently. The subsequent J-16, J-22, and other new aircraft gradually became less related to the Su-27 series.

Similarly, India introduced the Su-30MKI production line in 2000. The problem is that India lacked the capability and strategic determination to gradually achieve localization. Its independently developed Tejas fighter jet has no relation to the Su-30, and India has been wavering between independent development and foreign procurement: later, it imported a large number of Rafale fighters, which also squeezed the research and development budget for its own fighter jets.

The recent defeat of the Rafale against the J-10CE presents another dilemma for India. As a country aspiring to be at the global table in the future, having a strong air force is undoubtedly crucial, and it is clear that continued reliance on Europe is not feasible. It seems there is only one path left: to introduce the U.S. F-35 fighter jet.

However, the F-35 is also very expensive, and its production is not stable at all. India is likely to face another significant financial blow—if you were Trump, wouldn't you take advantage of the situation to sell it at a high price?

So, is JD encouraging India to confront Pakistan also a way to sell weapons? 😂
