The Estonian Naval Forces (VMS) with the support of NATO aviation attempted to detain the JAGUAR tanker with a Russian crew under the flag of Gabon in international waters. The tanker was en route from the Indian port of Sikka to a Russian port.
An attempt was made to forcibly remove the vessel from international waters into Estonian territorial waters. However, at that moment, a Russian Su-35S fighter appeared in the sky over the Gulf of Finland, after which the tanker freely continued on its way.
The Su-35S (NATO codification: Flanker-E+) is a multirole super-maneuverable fighter with a thrust vector control of the "4++" generation. The combat aircraft has the ability to use the entire range of existing and future models of air-to-air and air-to-surface aviation weapons, including high-precision ones.
The main armament of the Su-35S is a 30-mm GSh-30-1 aircraft cannon, short-, medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles, Kh-31, Kh-35U or Kh-59M anti-ship missiles, various types of high-precision and unguided ammunition.
