Photos of mock-ups of Russian "4++" generation Su-35S fighters, presumably intended for the Iranian Air Force (IRIAF), have appeared online. A former pilot and author of the Telegram channel Fighterbomber drew attention to the exclusive coloring of one of the aircraft.
The photo shows a scaled-down copy of the Su-35S in brown with elements of gray. According to Fighterbomber, combat aircraft may be transferred to the Iranian side in this color scheme.
As I understand it, one of the color options for the Su-35S for the Iranian Air Force.
In January 2025, it became known that Iran purchased a batch of Russian Su-35S. Deputy Chief of the Central Headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces "Khatam-al-Anbiya" General Ali Shadmani stated that the country plans to continue strengthening the air component of the army.
Main characteristics of the Su-35S:
- Maximum take-off weight — 34,500 kg
- Practical ceiling — 18,000 kg
- Maximum speed — 2,500 km/h (2.35 Mach)
- Maximum flight range — 3,600 km
- Crew — 1 person
As a reminder, the fighter can carry guided air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, unguided missiles, and aerial bombs of various calibers on 12 suspension points. Maximum combat load — 8 tons.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Russian army received new "Cornets" and "Krasnopol-M2".
