AI? I don't think air marshal will speak in Hindi to public infront of a foreign cammander.
There are hoops to jump through, before India could get the F-35, The Russian S-400 has to go, for a start,
Even when given all the evaluation data, There is a lot missing, including the true RCS, Only when a purchase order is placed, The classified, full data is given for all systems and this is only to a few classified air force personnel on a need to know basis , It's not even submitted to the Government officials,
Our government and head of the air force, doesn't know what some in the air force know about the F-35, it is very secret, This applies to all military equipment, Secret stuff generally remains secret, except to a few
It would be true that at this point, Indian access is very restricted,
They don't have a downgraded export version, like the P-8 and E-7 etc

I don't think Pentagon or USAF/USN will allow F-35 sell to india in any case where india is not becoming puppet of US foreign policy.
And Pentagon can not expect India to get rid off S400 which is perfectly working for India, just to know about RCS data of F-35.
What if F-35 is not as good as people think ? One can't bet their national security on "hope that a system is as good as the Nationalist of that country claims to be without any proof"(OSINT).
No one is fool enough to discard their working system to bet on something which they have no idea about.
And for Su-57e, India is having wait and watch strategy, if pakistan get J-35 and AMCA is still very late, then India will get Su-57e.
India will not allow pakistan to get and maintain any technology superiority for long time.
Pakistan has always and will always attack India if they ever get a feeling that they can defeat India.
I'm not saying it's a good idea, just what the hoops to jump through are
