India recently hosted US F-35 stealth jets for joint military exercises, marking the first time these advanced aircraft have been present on Indian soil. The drills provide India with an opportunity to assess fifth-generation American air power alongside its existing fleet of Russian, French, and domestically produced fighters. Analyst Sushant Singh notes that this move signifies a significant level of military cooperation between the two nations, despite Washington likely holding back on sharing all its top technology during these exercises.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
