The Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) received a new batch of Su-35S fighter jets, the press service of Rostec announced on April 11.
In a statement, the Russian state corporation said that the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) delivered the 4++ generation fighter jets to the VKS after a series of factory tests.
The UAC, a part of Rostec, manufactures Su-35S fighter jets at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Plant and other facilities.
The Su-35S was designed by the JSC Sukhoi Company 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.
One of the main features of the Su-35S is the Irbis-E multi-mode, hybrid passive electronically scanned array radar system, which can detect and track up to 30 airborne targets at one time at ranges of up to 350 kilometers, and attack up to eight of them.
The fighter jet can carry a variety of advanced weapons, including the R-37 air-to-air missile, the Kh-59 land-attack cruise missile, the Kh-58 anti-radiation missile and the Kh-35 anti-ship cruise missile.
The Su-35 first demonstrated its advanced combat capabilities during counter-terrorism operations in Syria, then in the course of the special military operation in Ukraine.
More than 100 Su-35S are currently in service in the VKS. The production of the fighter jet is expected to go on until at least until 2028.

*china inside
even ancient mig 29 superior to the garbage made in hillbilly amerika—ukraine a worse humiliation for the hillbillies than vietnam…”amerikans are ignorant and unteachable”
of course americans can’t do anything now that all their nazi scientists are dead and they rely on asians to produce their tech. combine this with the war on asia and china in particular and the future of americans doesn’t look so bright that one has to wear shades at night.
“nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of an amerikan”. hl menkhen
big deal. those jets wont help russia in the long run. russia is accomplishing nothing. if they take all of ukraine then nato will still be on their doorstep.
allerdings steht die nato nur mit veralteten oder untauglichen waffen dort. und vor einer haustür weniger. und mit weniger kanonenfutter
nato=32 bleating sheep that believe they are russian wolf…”the wolf cares not how many sheep there may be”. virgil
