Vladimir Putin said Russia offered India the chance to jointly develop the Su-57, a fifth-generation stealth fighter designed to rival advanced U.S. aircraft such as the F-35. He stated, 'As for the Su-57, we offered our friends from India to jointly develop this machine, a fifth-generation aircraft.' According to Indian Express, Putin added, 'In principle, this could have been our (Russia-India) product. We made it independently. And we are ready to work with India. To work and develop. There will be no restrictions whatsoever.' TASS reported that Putin said Russia is ready to supply Su-57 fighter jets to India, while The Economic Times reported he offered India the Su-57 and proposed joint production in India. Indian Express also reported Putin called the Su-57 'the best to date.' India has launched the Advanced Multirole Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme to develop its own fifth-generation fighter jet. Putin said the Oreshnik missile landing sites were chosen so Russian drones could inspect where the warheads landed, according to Forbes. Aleksandr Dugin, known as 'Putin’s brain' according to The Atlantic, developed a philosophical system called 'neo-Eurasianism' to justify the invasion of Ukraine.
