India REJECTS U.S. F-35 Deal After Trump’s 25% Tariffs | Russia’s Su-57 Emerges As New Jet Of Choice

India has officially declined the U.S. offer to purchase F-35 fighter jets, citing strategic constraints and Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Indian goods. Instead, Russia’s Su-57 has emerged as the top contender, with Moscow offering co-production and Make-in-India support. India's Air Force modernization push comes amid rising threats from China and Pakistan’s growing fighter fleets. The F-35's inability to integrate with non-NATO weapons and its $100M+ price tag made it less viable for India. The shift signals New Delhi's pivot in defense policy amid strained U.S.-India trade ties. #IndiaDefense #F35 #Su57 #TrumpTariffs #IndoUSRelations #IndiaRussia #MakeInIndia #IAF #FighterJetDeal #DefenseNews #Modi #MilitaryShift #USIndiaTies #DefenseTrade #TariffPolitics #StealthJets #IndiaRejectsF35 #RussianJets #Su57India #GlobalDefense #IndoPacific #StrategicAutonomy #TradeVsDefense #HAL #Nashik #ASTRA #RUDRAM #PakistanThreat #ChinaThreat #IAFModernization #Geopolitics Also Read Gautam Gambhir's Reaction On Mohammed Siraj's Fielding Blunder Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/gautam-gambhir-reaction-on-mohammed-sirajs-fielding-blunder-goes-viral-011-7819745.html?ref=DMDesc Sara Tendulkar To Sara Ali Khan: List Of Shubman Gill 's Rumoured Connections :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/sara-tendulkar-to-sara-ali-khan-list-of-shubman-gill-s-rumoured-connections-011-7819699.html?ref=DMDesc 8th Pay Commission Implementation Expected By Late 2026 Or Early 2027 With Salary Revisions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/8th-pay-commission-implementation-timeline-and-expected-salary-revisions-011-7819665.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~
