Russian Air Force Su-27/30/35 Delivered

United Aircraft Corporation announced the first Su-35S Flanker-E delivery of 2026 to the Russian Aerospace Forces, with the handover formally confirmed on 17 April. Photos and videos released by UAC suggest the batch consisted of two aircraft, in line with the manufacturer's standard pattern. The Su-35S fighters were assembled at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant in Russia's Far East and underwent factory acceptance testing before ferrying to operational airfields. The 2026 deliveries began later than the previous year, when the first batch was handed over on 29 March 2025. UAC delivered an estimated seventeen to twenty Su-35S to the Aerospace Forces across seven batches in 2025.
