The Russian Su-35 fighter jet is one of the most advanced aviation systems of the current generation. It is capable of detecting other aircraft at a distance of 350 km.
The manufacturer-assigned service life of the aircraft is 6 thousand hours or 30 years, and the service life of the engines is 4 thousand hours.
The Su-35 can fly at an altitude with a speed of 2.5 thousand km/h, while its maximum speed near the ground is 1.4 thousand km/h. It also has the ability to use weapons at supersonic speed.
The combat capabilities of the Su-35S have significantly increased after the installation of a new phased array radar station "Irbis." It can detect and track up to 30 targets simultaneously, providing target designation for eight of them.
The system is capable of detecting aerial adversaries at a distance of 400 km, and low-observable aircraft such as stealth aircraft at a range of up to 90 km.
The advanced OLS-35 optoelectronic targeting system on board the fighter allows detecting airborne threats by thermal radiation at a distance of 50 km, and the laser rangefinder measures the distance to a ground target at a distance of 30 km, and an aerial target at 20 km.
Bombs and missiles weighing up to 8 tons can be placed on the 12 hardpoints of the Su-35S, including advanced munitions - from unguided rockets, air-to-surface and air-to-air missiles, guided bombs to the heavy anti-ship missile "Yakhont" with a firing range of 300 km.
The Su-35 is covered with a special paint to reduce radar signature, and the cockpit canopy has a special coating that distorts the radio signal.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Russian Aerospace Forces received a batch of new Su-34s. The machines were manufactured as part of the current year's production program,
