"The economic effect is that we have our presence on the market and our partners from friendly countries want to buy Russian reliable and proven armament and, correspondently, to support our industry with export orders so that we can develop further and from generation to generation we used to create new products for the next 10-15 years," he said. 'Su-57 is superior...' A day after the above deals were made, Russian test pilot Sergey Bogdan told the media that the Su-57 fifth-generation airplane was superior to any of the existing ones in the world. "We never lag behind. We create our weapons against some competitors and always have a certain temporal reserve. We take into account many things. Our aircraft always boast a competitive edge," Bogdan said. "When it comes to manoeuvrability, stability, and controllability, our competitors and rivals do not show everything. But in terms of what has been demonstrated, Russian aircraft are always a little bit ahead," he added. The features of Su-57 As per the TASS report on Wednesday, the Su-57 has stealth technology with extensive use of composite materials. The fighter jet can achieve supersonic cruising speeds. It is equipped with cutting-edge onboard electronic systems and other innovations, in particular, armament placed inside its fuselage. (With inputs from agencies)

Russia's Rosoboronexport, the state agency for exports and imports of defence products, is ready to train Indian specialists for the AK-203 Kalashnikov project in Amethi, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

India and Russia in 2019 signed an intergovernmental agreement for setting up Indo-Russian Rifles Private Limited — a joint venture to manufacture the AK-203 assault rifles. The project will see a production of Russia's iconic assault rifles being produced in India with 100% localisation.
