Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yu.A. Gagarin (KnAAZ) maintains the production rate of fourth-generation Su-35S and Su-35SM fighters, reports Air & Space Forces Magazine.
According to the source, the production of Su-35S and Su-35SM versions will allegedly remain at the same level of 30 aircraft per year, and the production of Su-30SM2 will slow down slightly to the urgently developed SM3 version.
Su-35S is a generation "4++" fighter with powerful weaponry, high maneuverability, and modern avionics. The aircraft is designed to gain air superiority, intercept aerial targets, and engage ground and surface targets.
Thanks to engines with thrust vectoring and aerodynamic configuration, the Su-35S has outstanding maneuverability characteristics. The Irbis radar allows detecting and tracking a large number of targets at long distances, as well as engaging multiple targets simultaneously.
