India reconsiders Su-57 deal with Russia: Fighter jet comeback after FGFA exit?

India is reconsidering its stance on Russia’s Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet, years after walking away from the joint FGFA (Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft) program in 2018. Now, the Indian Air Force may procure at least two squadrons of Su-57s and is reportedly evaluating a proposal to manufacture the jets domestically under a "Make in India" model.
Why the sudden interest in the Su-57? Is this a strategic response to China's stealth capabilities or a signal of deeper Indo-Russian defence ties?
