Su-57 is a cheaper

How cheap? Some recent source cited $50 mil a piece which I find hard to believe. This beauty has to be at least $100-$120 million or even more.

India is, supposedly, planning to purchase 127 of these aircrafts at a cost of $135 million each.

Yes the deal would be around 15-20 Billion dollars but the program would be a 50-50 Joint venture between India & Russia on the lines of Brahmos with India owning and sharing the IP with Russia. India is investing 4-6 billion dollars into the design & development of this program.

And I'm glad that it seems they gave up on the idea of the FGFA being a 2-seater.
That JV is good for others who want to get in on the acquisition of this fighter. It will help keep cost down and also free up Russian production lines. All around a good thing.

This is just initial contract. India is still pursuing India specific customizations which includes adding the second cockpit. In total, the IAF is looking to procure 166 single seater and 48 twin-seater versions of the aircraft.

You do understand that IAF has been the biggest opposition for any Russian deals. They vociferously opposed MIG-29s for M2Ks and opposed Super Sukhois, FGFA & MIG-35s for RAFALEs.
