Today, 34 years ago, which coincided with June 28, 1988, became a historic moment in the military aerospace world, namely by flying the Sukhoi Su-27M prototype for the first time.
Later, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia gave the new Su-27M code as the Sukhoi Su-35, which was said to be one of its goals to attract the export market.
Fourteen aircraft were produced and used for testing and demonstration. Like the Su-27, the single-seat Su-35 has a redesigned cockpit and features a thrust-vectoring engine instead of canards.
This type (Su-35) then made its first flight on 19 February 2008. Although designed for export, the Russian Air Force became its first customer upon its launch in 2009, with the production version codenamed the Su-35S.
The Sukhoi Su-35 which is labeled by NATO as the Flanker E is phenomenal. The advantage of thrust vectoring is that it allows the Pughachev cobra to maneuver easily, and gives it a distinct advantage during dogfights.
The first appearance of the Su-35 Super Flanker in front of the international public was at the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget in 2013. At the Paris Air Show, the Su-35 demonstrated its capabilities by performing astonishing maneuvers and according to many observers it was difficult to match Western European fighter jets. which can match only the F-22 Raptor which is both powered by an engine with a thrust vectoring engine.
Although the design is like the Su-27 is split in half, structurally the Su-35 is different from the Su-27, especially for the embedded electronic innards. Talking about the airframe, the structure of the Su-35 is strengthened to have a longer service life than the Su-27, and the strengthening of the airframe is intended so that the aircraft is able to withstand the forces caused by extreme maneuvers.
Even though the avionics and sensors are new, the radar still adopts the Irbis-E PESA (passive electronically scanned array), but the range is far and technologically better than the mechanically scanned radar, or conventional radar.
The Irbis-E radar on the Su-35 can detect 30 airborne targets simultaneously, and is capable of striking up to eight targets simultaneously. The range of this radar is said to be capable of sniffing targets up to a distance of 400 km.
