The United Aircraft Corporation (part of Rostec) has delivered a batch of new Su-35S fourth-generation multirole fighters to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The aircraft have passed ground and flight factory tests.
The Su-35 is designed to gain air superiority, operate in difficult weather conditions at long distances from the base airfield, and has become a transition to advanced fifth-generation aircraft systems.
A representative of Rostec noted that the aircraft factories of the state corporation are operating at full capacity and maintain a consistently high rate of delivery of combat aircraft to the troops.
The Su-35S combines the power of modern weapons, advanced electronics and unique maneuverability, which makes it a "universal soldier" for performing the most complex combat tasks - from covering aviation groups and ground objects to defeating air and ground targets of the enemy.
The power plant of the Su-35S based on new engines with a digital control system and a controlled thrust vector allows to significantly improve the maneuverability and flight performance of the aircraft.
