New delhi-based NDTV television said there had been years of curiosity about\u201cWhich is stronger\u201d between Russia’s Su-57 and the US’s F-35 stealth fighter. During this India air show, the world will witness these two stealth fighters competing against each other for the first time, \u201cThe India Airshow will provide a rare side-by-side comparison of US and Russian fifth-generation jet fighter technologies, providing valuable insights into their capabilities to defence analysts, military personnel and L’A\u00e9rophile around the world.\u201d.<\/p>\n
