The Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) received another batch of Su-35S fighter jets which were produced by the Gagarin Aircraft Plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) announced on May 8 .
“The plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur has reached a rhythmical production pace this year. It is the second batch of combat aircraft delivered to the Aerospace Forces. The plant fulfills the commitments in the deliveries of new aircraft and works to create new batches of serial Su-35 and Su-57 jets,” UAC CEO Yury Slyusar said.
The company said that the newly-built fighter jets passed ground and flight trials and flew from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the deployment airfield.
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.
The fighter jet is equipped with the advanced 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.
It can be armed with a variety of advanced long-range precision-guided 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.
This was the second batch of Su-35S fighter jets to be delivered to the VKS this year. The first batch was handed over on April 11.
More than 100 Su-35S are currently in service in the VKS. 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.

the myth of nato qualitative superiority over russian quantitative superiority is truly just a western media folk tale now. no more t-34 with overcooked brittle steel and dodgy welds, mosin rifles and maxims. russia is a powerful modern army on par with any nato analogue in all aspects. ukraine will fall and nothing can be done about it. urrahhhh!
