The Russian multirole fighter of the transitional generation Su-35S escorted the multirole fighter-bomber Su-34NVO during a combat mission on the front line.
Visual contact was maintained between the aircraft at a distance of about 100-150 meters. The pilot had R-37M and R-77-1 guided air-to-air missiles at his disposal, which, given the ability of the N035 radar to detect the F-16AM against the earth's surface at a distance of 230 - 250 km, would have ruled out a successful attempt to approach the Su-34NVO to the range of the AIM-120B air-to-air missiles.
Let us recall the need to equip the Su-34NVO directly with R-77-1 or R-27ER/ET missiles for self-defense, because their onboard Sh-141 "Predator" radars also provide detection of the F-16AM against the earth's surface up to 80 km with the possibility of capture at a distance of 70 km of launching the above-mentioned air-to-air missiles
During live tests, the Su-34 crews repeatedly practiced conducting air combat at medium ranges.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Su-57 fighter made a splash among foreign customers in China.
