India is hosting Aero India, the largest annual aerospace and defense exhibition in Asia. This year's event features the maiden flight of two stealth jets — the Russian-made Sukhoi-57 and the U.S.'s F-35 Lightning II. New Delhi is weighing which of these jets from rival powers will join the country's fighter fleet as it seeks to compete with its neighbor China.
