Sukhoi Su-35 "(Flanker-E)"


Multirole / Air Superiority Fighter

Ultimate Evolution of the Su-27.



The Sukhoi Su-35 (NATO: "Flanker-E") is the ultimate evolution of the Su-27 "Flanker" air superiority fighter line of the 1970s. The Newer incarnation (a bridge design for the upcoming Su-57) offers true multirole capabilities, a wholly-reworked weapons suite, and a thoroughly modernized cockpit to meet any threat. The result is a highly-capable, agile, and powerful 4.5 Generation Fighter developed for the near-future, all atop the framework of the proven Su-27 airframe. Total production has reached in the hundreds with growing interest in this Russian offering being had globally. The Su-35 is the perfect counter to threats emerging from the West - be they on the ground or in the air.

Qualities





Thrust-Vectoring Agility


Thrust-vectoring jet nozzles funnel forces in tighter directions meaning the Su-35 holds one of the most agile airframes in the skies today. Couple this with a mature Fly-by-Wire (FbW) system and the Su-35 is second-to-none when it comes to the close-in dogfight.


True Multi-Role Capability


The reworking of the Su-27s systems has revealed a highly-capable Flanker airframe suitable for A2A and A2G operations at the highest levels. The Su-35 also sports no fewer than twelve individual hardpoints and can therefore support a myriad of ordnance options found in the current Russian Air Force inventory: missiles, rockets, bombs, and guns.


Irbis-E PESA System


Housed in the elongated nosecone of the Flanker-E is the Irbis-E Passive, Electronically-Scanned Array (PESA) radar system which provides the 'eyes and ears' for the Su-35 platform - able to search, track, and engage multiple targets with deadly efficiency.


Survivability at Heart


Twin side-by-side turbofan engines enhance crew / system survivability in contested airspaces while the L175M Khibiny-M electronic countermeasures suite alerts the pilot to inbound aerial threats.
