Rosoboronexport has offered India an agreement to produce advanced Su-35 fighters. This happened after India became interested in producing Swedish Gripen fighters, Bulgarian Military writes.
India's need for advanced technologies and reliable defense manufacturing partnerships is obvious. Russia's offer could give India a distinct advantage by allowing it to assemble Su-35s with powerful AL-41F engines on its territory.
As Bulgarian Military writes, the Su-35 multirole fighter is an "engineering marvel" created on the basis of the S-27. The aircraft is maneuverable, develops a speed of up to 2.25 Mach, and can fly without refueling for 2,200 miles (3,500 km).
The Irbis-E radar allows the Su-35 pilot to detect targets at a distance of up to 250 miles (over 400 km) and track multiple targets simultaneously. This radar system gives the Su-35 an advantage in beyond-visual-range combat.
