Russia Shocks World with SU-57 and Asylum for Elon Musk

India’s Dilemma: SU-57 vs F-35

First of all, here you can see that at a time when the whole world is observing what India will do, will India purchase Russian made SU 57 or will we are buying American made F35 fighter jets because by the way, let me tell you that the government of Shahbaz Sharif, who is the Prime Minister of Pakistan, has recently announced that China will give them the fifth generation fighter jet very soon.

Pakistan’s J-35 Deal with China

You can see this tweet from the Government of Pakistan. It is in Urdu. If we translate this, then here they are saying that under the presidency of Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif, Pakistan has achieved several great diplomatic achievements, including the offer of 40 fifth-generation fighter jet J35 stealth fighter aircraft.

India’s Indigenous AMCA Program and Strategic Options

Now, in India, we are talking about India pursuing the AMCA. We will build AMCA. We will build our fifth-generation fighter jet. But let me tell you that if China gives 40 J35 fighter jets to Pakistan soon, in that case, either we can purchase the S500 missile defence system or we can work quickly on Project Kusha ourselves, because if Pakistan gets the fifth-generation fighter jet. India does not have it, so definitely Pakistan can get a big advantage in one aspect.

Russia Reiterates SU-57 Offer with Source Code

Since Pakistan created this message, Russia also sent the fighter Jet offer of the SU-57. This time, Russia is saying that we are not only giving you this fighter jet. We will also give you its source code. Now, what does source code mean? I will tell you this. Well, this is the offer that has been given to India.

Russia’s Offer to Elon Musk

The funny thing here is this. Russia has also sent an offer to Elon Musk. Russia has said that, Elon Musk, we are ready to give you political asylum. Because, as you all know, Elon Musk has started a war. Against Donald Trump, they are saying that they will expose Trump. Whatever Trump’s relations were with Jeffrey Oberstein, whatever has happened in the past, they will put it all in front of the world, and it is not a big deal. He will also reveal some more secrets of Trump, which are still hidden from the world.

Elon Musk and the India-Pakistan Ceasefire Connection

I would be very interested. If Elon Musk keeps talking about the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Trump repeatedly reveals some details about it. Although it does not seem that Elon Musk would have been much involved in that case, he would have some special information that he has not yet told the world. So this is a very interesting development. Russia is almost saying that, the way they provided political asylum to Edward Snowden, they can provide asylum to Elon Musk so that he can be saved from Donald Trump. Interesting Times, Really Interesting Times.

The Importance of Source Code in Fighter Jets

Now, coming back to Russia’s offer, what does it mean? If Russia is giving us the source code, many people have asked me about it. There was news in between that we have purchased Rafale jets from France, but France is not ready to give us the source code, and that creates a lot of problems for us. If we had gotten the source code, we could have made Rafale stronger.

Explaining Source Code in Simple Terms

What does source code mean? I will explain it to you. You can say that the source code is the original computer programming of the fighter jet, which controls everything. Advanced electronic systems, radar, sensing, weapon targeting, countermeasures. So, understand this here. Suppose you have a laptop. You cannot open that laptop from anywhere. So basically, whatever hardware you have, whatever laptop you have, you have to use that only. You will never be able to change its RAM, its graphics card, or anything.

Customisation Through Source Code

But let’s get the source code of that laptop. Although it is not called source code. So you can make modifications. You can change things in that laptop according to your needs. The same case happens in a fighter jet. People think that having the source code means that you can install your weapons in the fighter jet. For example, if we take the case of Rafale, can we install Brahmos on Rafale? No, we cannot. Rafale will not be able to use Brahmos. This is a Russian Indian weapon.

Challenges Without Source Code

To use Brahmos, we have to use it. So, suppose we had the source code of Rafale, we could have used Brahmos Astra missiles and various types of missiles on Rafale. And at the same time, a crucial thing is how the setup comes in front of the pilot. Now, Indian pilots have mostly used Russian fighter jets. They are used to it. Suddenly, a French system appears in front of you. You see, their radar is slightly different, flight controls are different, sensor processing is different, and weapon targeting is different. Slowly, it takes time.

Enhancing Pilot Experience

So if you have the source code, then you can make all those changes so that the pilot sees things on his screen according to his preference. So, personally, I believe that if India purchases a fighter jet today, it is because we can forget ourselves. But suppose we have to purchase a Fighter jet from abroad, it is not fun without the source code, and if Russia is ready to give us the source code here.

Russian strategies offer: Offer source code to India

Their government media, Russia Today, is also saying that we are ready to give the source code here. This means that you will be able to install any missile in the SU-57. Brahmos is a Russian technology. We will be able to incorporate it. But if India makes a missile on its own, we purchase a missile from Israel, for example. We can do that as well. Can we use the mission computers ourselves so that our pilots feel more comfortable? And at the same time, they are also saying here that there will be a transfer of technology.

The Limitation of TOT Without Source Code

Well, they had announced the transfer of technology in the Rafale deal as well. But transfer of technology without source code doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. And at the same time, Russia is also saying that they want to manufacture the SU-57 fighter jet in India with HL or other private partners.

AMCA Delay and the SU-57 Stopgap

Recently, you will know that the Indian government has invited not only HL private partners for AMCA, so Russia has understood that India is facing a big challenge. AMCA will take time. To fill the gap, India may have to purchase 30-40 fifth-generation Fighter jets, and Russia is presenting a very lucrative offer there.

US pressure India for F-35 and Strategic Defense

But the question arises here at a time when the USA, which is being led by Donald Trump, is aggressively telling India that you have to buy F-35. I can assure you that if we do not purchase the F-35 and opt for the SU-57, the US government will be very angry. Their media will be very angry. India will be targeted in a way we have never seen before.

Strategic Balance: Making a Neutral Choice

Then we will purchase SU-57. This will be a very difficult decision. And this is such a decision that it seems India may not take this decision. Then, we won’t be suitable to go either spoiling relations with the US or spoiling relations with Russia. If India says, for once, that we are not buying here, we are making our fighter jet. I think to some extent USA will accept this, and Russia will also accept it.
