Iran Confirms Su-35 Fighter Jets Deal With Russia

Iran has finalized a deal to purchase advanced Su-35 fighter jets from Russia, Iranian state broadcaster said on March 11, confirming reports that emerged in the last few months.

“The Sukhoi-35 fighter planes are technically acceptable to Iran and Iran has finalized a contract for their purchase,” the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting quoted Iran’s mission to the United Nations in New York as saying.

The broadcaster said that Iran had also inquired about buying military aircraft from several other unnamed countries. Russia is yet to confirm the deal from its side.

Reports from last December said that Russia has agreed to supply Iran with 24 Su-35s which were originally built for Egypt as a part of a deal that was thwarted by the United States.

In January, Iranian Parliament member Shahriar Heidari said that Russia will deliver the first batch of fighter jets early next Iranian year, which starts on March 21. At the time, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency speculated that some of the Su-35s will be housed at Tactical Air Base 8 of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF), which is located near the central city of Isfahan.

The Su-35 was designed to engage all types of aerial targets in long and close ranged air battles as well as to attack ground and sea-surface targets including those covered by air defenses and located far behind the frontline. It can carry a variety of advanced weapons, including the R-37 long-range, hypersonic air-to-air missile and the Kh-59 long-range land-attack cruise missile.

The fighter jet will be a major boost for the IRIAF, which is currently relying on American F-4, F-5 and F-14 fighter jets made in the 1970s which were left from the period before the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Russian-Iranian military cooperation grew significantly in the last few years. Washington claims that Tehrna supplied Moscow with hundreds of suicide and combat drones in the last few months for use in the ongoing special military operation in Ukraine.

The Su-35 deal will likely lead to tensions between Russia and Israel. Tel Aviv will likely consider it a violation of the 2015 Iranian nuclear agreement.

Its 24 planes hardly a game changer but a warning to Israel that US hegemony is over and the she has to be a partner for normalisation of relations throughout the Levant and the Middle East or a pariah state with limited support from a denuded and increasingly irrelevant big brother to back her up. I hope they go for reality but I doubt their realpolitik vision.

Erreur de jugement ! Bien sûr que oui cela change la donne de posséder des Soukoï “derniers” modèles ! Les promenades juives en f 35 et autres f 16 ne seront plus possible sans payer de sa peau ! De surcroît, la Russie devant un risque de guerre mondiale devra permettre à l’Iran de recevoir d’autres sous marin kilos et Missiles S 400 ! Les juifs ont toujours et constamment 8 ou 10 fer aux feux. Faut jamais oublier les donneurs d’ordres !!!

Israel preys on injured and vulnerable people-who cannot defend themselves. They kill children-they don’t have a moral compass. Vacant.Like Zelensky.

I am looking forward to isreal showing russia how to destroy weapons in a country on delivery so it cannot do any harm perhaps the russians can then learn and adopt it on the ukrainian battleground.

You can put as many negative coments as you want i am not supporting israel but thats what they will and no one will stop them. The russians will just shrug they got the money for the planes and if theier are destroyed on iranian ground afterwards it is not their problem.

JHK

Yes, jews and persians and slavs can kill themselves and rid the World of r1a, a shitty slavic khazarian blood mafia type that smells like swine and vodka.

Israel can’t do anything without the USA helping them-without that they are very weak. Palestine is not a good test for real war . They have proved nothing.

leviathan

They are likey to parked underground in the Iran mountains and out of range of Israel jets or missiles. So for Israel not an easy target.

Underthrow

There are no nuclear deals involving the zio-terror regime occupying Palestine. Except maybe the ones Netanyahu made with NUMEC… 0

Citujem: “Dohoda o Su-35 pravdepodobne povedie k napätiu medzi Ruskom a Izraelom. Tel Aviv to pravdepodobne bude považovať za porušenie iránskej jadrovej dohody z roku 2015.” Koniec citátu!!! RF sa môže teraz vys. Račť na to čo si Žid myslí!!! Byť na mieste Rusov tak by som Židovi pripomenul, ako zavraždili Ruských pilotov!!! Tak, že by som im odporučil byť ticho.
