[Regnum] The Russian troops received the first batch of Su-35S fighters this year. This was reported on March 29 by the press service of Rostec.
“The planes were manufactured by our United Aircraft Corporation and have already flown to their home airfield,” the corporation said in a statement on its Telegram channel.
Rostec added that the fighters had undergone a full cycle of factory tests, were accepted by the technical staff, and tested in various operating modes by Defense Ministry pilots.
The state corporation said that the Su-35S is a multifunctional 4++ generation fighter with two engines, a digital navigation system and a controlled thrust vector. The aircraft has improved flight and technical and maneuverability characteristics. It is designed to destroy ground and surface targets during the day and at night in simple and difficult weather conditions. At the same time, the machine is capable of operating at a large distance from its base airfield.
"Pilots highly appreciate the characteristics of the Su-35S. The fighters are equipped with advanced weapons and long-range information and targeting systems," said Vladimir Artyakov, First Deputy General Director of Rostec.
UAC CEO Vadim Badekha added that for each aircraft type — Su-34, Su-35, Su-57 — an increase in production volumes is planned for this year. To achieve this, Badekha said, the corporation will continue to expand production.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, at the end of December, UAC manufactured and transferred new batches of Su-57 fighters and Su-34 frontline bombers to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov noted that the state corporation's aircraft manufacturing enterprises are rhythmically supplying the Russian army with aircraft equipment, and the Su-57 and Su-34 aircraft transferred to the troops will soon take their place in service.
He called the Su-57 the only fifth-generation fighter that has proven its breakthrough characteristics in all combat scenarios. According to the head of Rostec, the Su-57 is a formidable weapon with advanced means of destruction.
In November, the corporation delivered a new batch of fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft and multifunctional 4++ generation Su-35S fighters to the troops. Chemezov also spoke about the world premiere of the Su-57 in the export version.
In early October, UAC delivered another batch of new Su-34 frontline fighter-bombers to the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS).
