Russia Offers Stealth Beast Su-57E To India With ‘Make-in-India' Twist
New Delhi: After the high-stakes 'Operation Sindoor', tensions between India and Pakistan have once again surged. In this new phase of defense recalibration, the spotlight is now on fifth-generation fighter jets. Russia has once again offered India its most advanced export fighter jet, the Su-57E. But this time, it is not just a sales pitch. The offer comes with a promise – deeper localisation, seamless integration with Indian systems and full support for Make-in-India defense ambitions. This new proposal includes some of the key technologies originally planned for India's Super-30 program, which is meant to upgrade the IAF's Su-30MKI fleet. The Su-57E would be equipped with GaN-based AESA radar and indigenous Indian mission computers. These additions not only supercharge Su-57E's combat capability but also ensure technical similarity with the Super-30 jets, streamlining maintenance and logistics for the Indian Air Force. Desi Missiles for a Russian Machine The real game-changer? The Su-57E would carry Indian-made beyond-visual-range air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles. This reduces dependency on foreign suppliers and aligns perfectly with India's growing self-reliance in defense manufacturing. Russia is also ready to allow India to make custom modifications to the aircraft. Sources suggest that even source codes and technology transfer are on the table. That means Indian firms, including HAL and private players, could co-produce this stealth jet. What Makes the Su-57E So Deadly? The Su-57E is Russia's only fifth-generation stealth fighter, designed to evade even the most advanced radar systems. It boasts of stealth shaping for low observability, supercruise capability and R-37M missiles with a staggering 400 km range. Moscow claims that the Su-57E outperforms even the French Rafale in certain combat scenarios, particularly in range and missile payload.

Illegal gambling platforms pose grave threat to Indian youth: Report
A report by CUTS (Consumer Unity & Trust Society) International has raised alarm over the explosive growth of illegal online gambling platforms in India, warning of serious threats to minors, young adults, and national financial integrity. With estimated annual deposits nearing $100 billion, the report urges immediate regulatory intervention to combat this growing menace. It reveals that from April 2024 to March 2025, the top 15 illegal gambling platforms garnered over 5.4 billion visits through 40 mirror sites. 'These operators are exploiting India's advertisement and payment systems, siphoning off crores while putting Indian consumers at grave risk. The absence of regulatory safeguards has made India a fertile ground for these platforms,' said Pradeep Mehta, the secretary general of CUTS. The report flags how illegal operators target vulnerable youth through immersive, high-stakes experiences, bypassing age and identity verification protocols. According to the report, few platforms use psychological tactics to lure sensation-seeking users, while some offshore players even accept cash-on-delivery payments allowing minors to gamble without digital access or oversight. The report further states that a large chunk of user traffic - over 66% - comes via direct URLs or private channels, suggesting a high degree of brand familiarity and trust. According to the report, illicit payment tactics include misuse of UPI, mule accounts, and sophisticated appsto move funds under the radar. While the Ministry of Finance has initiated investigations into nearly 700 offshore entities and blocked 357 sites, the report says much more needs to be done. CUTS recommends a robust national framework backed by an inter-ministerial task force, collaboration with tech companies, public awareness campaigns, and behavioural research into gambling addiction. It also urges strong measures to monitor and block illegal websites and financial transactions. The report calls India's current approach 'manual and reactive.'
