Russia sukhoi su 57 fighter jet: The 5th-generation SU-57 fighter aircraft of Russia recently attended Aero India 2025. After that it was being sent back to Russia, but before returning to Russia, SU-57 had to land on an Air Force base in Iran, which has given rise to many speculation. According to Iranian sources, SU-57 made landing on the 9th Tactical Air Force Base. It was claimed that the fighter jet had stopped fueling here.
The distance between Russia to India is more than 4000 km and the range of SU-57 is 3500 km, so a stopover was needed to cover this distance. Monkey Abbas, located near the Gulf of Persia, is deemed right for this stop, as it is also the right place from a strategic perspective.

Iran’s Russian fighter eye
This landing was not only limited to meeting the need, but Iran also got a chance to close this 5th generation state -of -the -art fighter aircraft. Iran is showing interest in Russia’s fighter jet in recent times. However, no official confirmation of this landing has been confirmed by Russian or Iranian officials.
Option of Hamimim Base of Syria
In general, the Russian aircraft used the Hamimim Base of Syria to complete the long route, but after the fall of the government of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, this base is no longer the right choice for Russia. Because of this, Russia chose a new hideout as Iran for its fighter jet.
Potential customer looking for?
This landing can also be part of the search for potential customers by pitching SU-57 on behalf of the President of Russia. Iran is one of the military powers around the world. Because of this, perhaps he can show interest in SU-57, due to which the steps taken by Russia are considered quite interesting.
