The Su-35S aircraft performs all the combat tasks assigned to us in full and with maximum quality," said the pilot of the Su-35S of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
On the part of bmpd, we would like to point out that, thus, the fifth batch of Su-35S fighters manufactured by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yuri Gagarin (KnAAZ) UAC was transferred to the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2025. The UAC announced the transfer of the first batch of Su-35S fighters to the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2025 on March 29, 2025, the second batch on May 12, the third batch on June 25, and the fourth batch on August 21 . As usual, the number of aircraft delivered has not been disclosed in the KLA reports since 2022, and the fighter aircraft tail numbers are retouched on the official photos and videos distributed. According to reports, the third batch, delivered on June 25, consisted of three aircraft.
Earlier in 2024, KnAAZ handed over to the Russian Ministry of Defense four batches of Su-35S fighters with a total estimated number of 15 aircraft. Presumably, the Su-35S fighters that have now been transferred were manufactured under the additional (fifth) contract concluded by the KLA for the supply of Su-35S aircraft to the Russian Ministry of Defense. In total, taking into account previous contracts, the Russian Air Force received an estimated 135 production Su-35S fighters from 2012 to the end of 2024.
