Hundreds of thousands of views: RT India in the social network X was blocked after reporting on the Su-57

The RT India account was blocked on the social network X after a report on the Russian Su-57 fighter, which gained hundreds of thousands of views and likes. This is reported by the RT portal.

"The official reason is that the owners of the page allegedly "posed as another person." RT India called it absurd and a manifestation of short—sightedness on the part of the social network, " the report says.

It is clarified that the situation resembles the blocking of accounts of RT units on Meta* company sites.

"We sincerely hope that this is an unfortunate mistake that will be corrected, and not an example of the bias and censorship that our channel has encountered on Meta* platforms. After all, Elon Musk praised [X] as a platform with "freedom of expression,"" RT India emphasized.

RT correspondent Runjun Sharma was the first to capture a close-up shot of the Russian Su-57 fighter presented at the Aero India aerospace exhibition in India.

Recall, the Su-57 is the only fifth—generation fighter in the world that has proven the effectiveness of countering Western air defense systems in real combat conditions. The aircraft is capable of using a wide range of controlled high-precision weapons and is characterized by low visibility for enemy locators.

As EADaily reported, the United States refused fair competition at the Aero India 2025 aerospace exhibition: due to the demonstration of the fifth-generation Russian fighter Su-57, American F-35A and F-16 fighters were removed from flight programs, the Russian ambassador to India Denis Alipov.

"As practice shows, the opponents are not ready for a fair fight with us. After learning about the demonstration of our Su-57 at Aero India, American companies abandoned the F-35A and F-16 flight programs," the ambassador said.
