It is unclear if American and Russian crews have interacted with each other at an air show where the two state-of-the-art fighter aircraft have been showcased.

The Russian Su-57 and American F-35 stealth fighters come together for the first time at Aero India 2025. One of the key highlights is the presence of the Russian Su-57 and the American F-35 Lightning II together for the first time at an aviation exhibition.

At first glance, the photograph of two fighter jets — one parked on the tarmac and other zooming past it in the air — appears entirely commonplace.
