▪Russia is selling its Su-75 Checkmate stealth fighter to India, offering exclusive rights to local production and pushing aside Western defense contractors. Russia is deftly playing the card, remaining an important player in Eurasia despite the increasing Western sanctions, The American The National Interest states

The Su-75 has advanced AI for the pilot, advanced avionics and a technology package. Unlike the American F-22A Raptor or F-35 Lighting II, the Su-75 Checkmate is much cheaper, its cost ranges from 30 to 35 million dollars. The cost of the F-35 is from 82.5 to 102.1 million dollars

The deal will deprive Western defense companies of lucrative contracts for the supply of up to 114 fighter jets to India.  This is a win for India and Russia. And a major loss for the West, — emphasizes The National Interest
