The difference between the Su-35S and the Su-35
The Su-35 fighter (Russian: 35, English: Su-35, NATO codename: Flanker-E, translation: Flanker E) is a Russian single-seat twin-engine fighter heavy fighter. The Su-35 fighter, a fighter-bomber improved on the basis of the Su-27, is aerodynamically similar to the Su-30MKI and retains a considerable part of the capabilities of the Su-27. It not only has ultra-low-altitude sustained flight capability, good maneuverability and agility, but also has high-precision navigation, attack and aiming capabilities, and can independently complete combat and attack missions without relying on radio command, including ultra-low-altitude sudden air raids, attacks under pitching and deflection boundary conditions, and over-the-horizon air combat.
From the Su-27 to the Su-35, to the T-10M-20, the main fighter of the Russian Air Force is constantly evolving. The Su-35 has a very important place in the Russian Air Force, and it is a key system used by the Russian Air Force to fight Western fighters such as the F-15, F-16 and F A-18.
Compared with the Su-30 fighter, the Su-35 fighter mainly improves the structural layout, adopts a sharper head and a smaller radar reflection section, replaces more advanced avionics equipment and airborne ** systems, improves the engine and aerodynamic layout, and improves the comfort of the pilot and the survivability of the battlefield.
The Su-35 fighter adopts an all-metal semi-rigid fuselage and a lower single-wing layout, which has ultra-low-altitude continuous flight capability, good maneuverability and agility, as well as high-precision navigation, attack and aiming capabilities. It is equipped with advanced avionics equipment and airborne systems, including multifunctional radar, infrared search and tracking system, electronic warfare system, and advanced navigation and attack system.
The engines of the Su-35 fighter are two Al-41F1S turbofan engines, which have a maximum thrust of up to 147 kN and a maximum flight speed of up to 2Mach 2. It is equipped with a variety of advanced airborne systems, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, bombs and rockets. At the same time, the Su-35 fighter also has high-precision navigation and attack capabilities, and can independently complete combat and attack missions without relying on radio command.
In general, the Su-35 fighter is a very advanced heavy fighter with excellent combat performance and a variety of advanced avionics and ** systems. It can be used not only for seizing air supremacy, but also for a variety of combat missions such as ground attack and anti-ship operations. In future wars, Su-35 fighters will become one of the main forces of the Russian Air Force and play an important role in defending and stabilizing the region.
