The US brought its most advanced fighter jet, the F-35, to India for the first time this week, along with F-16s, Super Hornets, and B-1B bombers, in an effort to entice New Delhi away from its traditional military supplier, Russia.

Aero India 2023, Asia’s largest aero exhibition, begins today in Bengaluru with the goal of showcasing India’s expansion in aerospace and defence capabilities. The air show, which runs through Friday, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
