Defence Current Affairs 11 December 2025
Moscow Approves HAL Koraput for Su-57E Engine Manufacturing
India has achieved a remarkable milestone in its quest for self-reliance in defence technology. Following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent visit to New Delhi, Moscow has reportedly granted a Transfer of Technology (ToT) agreement that will allow Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Koraput, Odisha, to manufacture the advanced Izdeliye 177S engines used in the Su-57E fifth-generation fighter jet.
The Izdeliye 177S is a sophisticated low-bypass, two-shaft turbofan equipped with thrust-vectoring control (TVC), a feature that significantly enhances manoeuvrability at low speeds and high angles of attack. This capability gives fighter aircraft superior performance in complex missions while also improving survivability and fuel efficiency.
By entering the elite group of nations capable of producing fifth-generation fighter propulsion systems, India has bolstered its strategic aviation capabilities and reinforced its long-term defence ambitions.
IIT-Bombay Launches India’s First ₹250 Crore Deep Tech Venture Fund
