TOP 5 FACTS :

Introduction:

THE SU-35 IS A DESIGNATION, FOR TWO SEPARATE, HEAVILY UPGRADED DERIVATIVES OF THE SU-27 'FLANKER'. THEY ARE SINGLE-SEAT, TWIN-ENGINE, SUPER-MANEUVERABLE ,MULTIROLE FIGHTERS, DESIGNED BY SUKHOI.


THE FIRST VARIANT WAS DESIGNED DURING THE 1980S, WHEN SUKHOI SOUGHT TO UPGRADE ITS HIGH-PERFORMANCE SU-27, AND WAS INITIALLY KNOWN AS THE SU-27M. LATER RE-DESIGNATED SU-35, THIS DERIVATIVE INCORPORATED AERODYNAMIC REFINEMENTS ,WITH INCREASED MANEUVERABILITY, ENHANCED AVIONICS, LONGER RANGE, AND MORE POWERFUL ENGINES.

IN 2003, SUKHOI EMBARKED ON A SECOND MODERNIZATION OF THE SU-27, TO PRODUCE WHAT THE COMPANY CALLS A 4++ GENERATION FIGHTER THAT WOULD BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN LEGACY FIGHTERS AND THE UPCOMING FIFTH-GENERATION SUKHOI PAK FA. THIS DERIVATIVE, WHILE OMITTING THE CANARDS AND AIR BRAKE, INCORPORATES A REINFORCED AIRFRAME, IMPROVED AVIONICS AND RADAR, THRUST-VECTORING ENGINES, AND A REDUCED FRONTAL RADAR SIGNATURE.
