United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) announced that it has delivered a new batch of Sukhoi Su-35S fighters to the Russian Air Force.
As on other occasions, the number of aircraft was not revealed, but normally the state-owned company sends one to two aircraft per batch.

The new announcement comes a week after the company delivered Su-34 bombers.
The Su-35, as well as the Su-34 and Su-57, are produced at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur facility in Russia’s Far East.
“We produce Su-35S aircraft at the highest technological level thanks to the large-scale modernization of production, which has been carried out at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur plant in recent years and is still ongoing,” said UAC General Director Yuri Slyusar.
Su-57 deliveries
To date, the UAC has not reported the delivery of new Su-57 fighters, Russia’s only known 5th generation aircraft.
Developed over several years, the Su-57 has been used in some missions in Ukraine, but the number of aircraft available in the Russian Air Force is unknown.
