Su-75 'Checkmate' Fighter: India likely to collaborate with Russia | Explainer | Oneindia News
Reports have emerged that Russia is potentially seeking India’s assistance in developing the Su-75 Light Tactical Aircraft named the “Checkmate”.
An offer for this is likely to be made to the Indian authorities during the Aero India exhibition that will take place in Bengaluru between February 13-17.
The project was initially revealed at the MAKS airshow in July 2021 in Moscow.
From its inception, the aircraft was targeted at Asian, Middle Eastern, African, European, and Latin American nations looking for a lighter, more affordable…and most importantly... non-US aircrafts.
India, on its part, is already doing groundwork to produce its own 6th generation fighter aircraft.
Although there are still doubts over whether the indigenously made jet would be a 5th generation one…or the 6th generation one.
In this video, we take a quick look at this Checkmate fighter jet and their features.

India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.

President Donald Trump, frustrated with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, pledged he could end the conflict “within 24 hours.” Speaking to reporters, Trump leaned pro-Russia, threatening Ukraine with sanctions and tariffs if the war continued. He issued an ultimatum to both Kyiv and Moscow: “End the war or bleed economically,” while urging Ukraine to concede land to appease Vladimir Putin. Ukraine and European leaders firmly rejected the idea. Trump insists he prefers economic pressure over risking a world war, blaming Biden for fueling the conflict.

Russia has openly backed Iran’s nuclear enrichment plans amid growing U.S. and European strike warnings. In a bilateral call, President Putin assured Iranian President Pezeshkian of Moscow’s support, reinforcing a united front ahead of the SCO summit in China. The U.S. has threatened a second wave of attacks if Tehran restarts its nuclear plants, while Russia and China continue defending Iran’s right to pursue civil nuclear energy.

Russia has released dramatic footage showing its drone strike destroying a U.S.-supplied AN/TPQ-36 radar system used by Ukraine to track artillery fire. The system erupted in flames after a precise hit, marking Moscow’s latest provocation toward Donald Trump. Russia also claims to have targeted a U.S-owned factory in Ukraine producing drones and weapons. With Trump’s recent talks with Putin and Zelensky failing to cool tensions, fears of a World War 3–level escalation are growing as Russia intensifies its offensive.

Ukraine’s Independence Day was marred by escalating violence as Russia unleashed a massive drone and missile assault, killing two and injuring 33 in Kherson. Ukraine claims to have shot down 71 of 104 drones, but Moscow says Kyiv was the aggressor, targeting the Kursk nuclear plant and Russian energy sites. Fires erupted at facilities in Kursk and Ust-Luga, though no radiation leaks were reported. With Trump’s proposed peace talks stalling, the conflict now resembles a World War 3–like cycle of strikes and counterstrikes.

The Middle East spirals into deeper chaos as Hamas vows revenge after Israeli airstrikes killed 10 people in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a. The strikes followed Houthi missile attacks on Tel Aviv, intensifying Israel’s two-front war. Hamas denounced Netanyahu’s “fascist aggression” and urged Arab unity, while Islamic Jihad signaled readiness to join the fight. Analysts warn that a Hamas-Houthi-Islamic Jihad coalition, backed by Iran, could overstretch the IDF. With Netanyahu rejecting peace deals and Iran pushing for revenge, fears of World War 3 escalation grow.

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
