The Indian Opposition Slam makes Trump’s F -35 concession as Russia also throws its hat into the ring

India’s opposition parties have criticized US President Donald Trump’s opportunity to sell F -35 militants to the country, citing high costs, despite Russia’s discussion on producing its most advanced jet airplanes at home in accordance with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s objectives.

The concession from both US and India’s long -term security partner Russia has fallen from 42 recognized strength to 31, and is seeking to buy more jets to oppose China, which creates it rapidly.

After meeting Modi in Washington last week, Trump said the United States would increase military sales to India from 2025 and eventually provide fifth generation F -35 fighters produced by Lockheed Martin.

India’s main Opposition Congress Party Trump’s friendship and billionaire Elon Musk’s past criticism has used Modi’s government to target the government.

“F -35 has described Elon Musk as ‘Junk’. He asked for a post in the Congress’s official X account this weekend, saying that the aircraft was expensive and had high operational costs.

The US government estimates that it costs $ 80 million for an F -35.

The Government of India did not want to buy the aircraft, and the Foreign Secretary of India told reporters last week that the US offer was in the “concession plan” and that the acquisition process has not been started.

The Ministry of Defense of India did not immediately respond to the request for the comment.

The Congress Post cited the Post November 2024 post by the Mask X, in which he shared a drone sword video and headed it: “In the meantime, some fools are still creating war jets like F -35”.

Mask later said in another X post: “Human war -jets have been obsolete the age of drones anyway.”

Last week, Russia offered to convert its fifth -generation Sukhoi Chu -57 into a militant in India, saying that India could start production early this year if India agreed with the elements of raw materials.

Amit Ghoshish, a former financial adviser for the acquisition of the Indian Defense Ministry, said, “Russia has never been withdrawn from changing technology.”

“Russia is not in the change of technology … We will continue to deal with Russia, buy oil, buy some other things, but it is likely to create its own difficulties such as such a large (safety) contract- À-Wis (The) us,” Ghoshish said.
