As usual, Юрий Ващук (Yuriy Vaschuk) is at the controls showcasing his unparalleled skill with this fighter aircraft. These videos were shot at MAKS 2017 at Gromov Flight Research Institute in Zhukovskiy, Moscow in 2017, but back then I didn't have the editing means that I do nowadays in terms of software (DaVinci Resolve) and graphics card, so I decided to revisit a number of older videos to improve the color grading and add stabilization and sharpening. Hope you appreciate it!

The Sukhoi Su-35 (Сухой Су-35; NATO reporting name: Flanker-E) is the designation for two separate, heavily-upgraded derivatives of the Su-27 air-defence fighter. They are twin-engine, single-seater, highly-maneuverable fighter aircraft, designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and built by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association.

The first variant was designed during the 1980s as an upgrade of the Su-27, and was initially known as the Su-27M. This derivative made use of canards and had a multi-function radar that transformed the aircraft into a multi-role fighter jet. It was also structurally reinforced to support its heavier weight. The first prototype made its maiden flight in June 1988. The aircraft did not enter mass production at the time due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and therefore Sukhoi re-designated the aircraft later on as Su-35 to attract export orders. At the same time, the fourteen aircraft initially produced were used for tests and exhibitions; one example had thrust-vectoring engines installed, and the resultant Su-37 was used as a technology demonstrator. A sole two-seat trainer was also built in the late 1990s under the designation SU-35UB that strongly resembled the Su-30MK family.

In 2003, Sukhoi embarked on a second modernization of the Su-35 to serve as an interim aircraft awaiting the development of the Sukhoi PAK-FA (Su-57, previously T-50) program. Also known as Su-35, this derivative had a redesigned and highly modernized cockpit as well as an improved weapons-control system, it also featured thrust-vectoring engines (AL-41F1S, formerly AL-117S) in place of the omitted canards. The airbrake was gone and it used aerodynamic rudder brakes. The type made its first flight in February 2008. Although the aircraft was designed for export, the Russian Air Force in 2009 became the launch customer of the aircraft, the production version of which is the currently designated Su-35S. China's People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) is the sole foreign customer of the aircraft so far but other countries are reportedly in discussions with Russia about the possible purchase of the Su-35, among which is Indonesia, whose government is expected to sign a contract in the near future.

Russia makes the most beautiful and capable aircraft in the world!

[nashaatmahmud]

They are rewriting the rules of physics.

[GeorgeBlystone]

when I go to sleep at night, I pray that the US and Russia become allies in more than just space related science and exploration.

Seharusnya indonesia ttp mlkukan pembelian su, 35

Ignoring the Russian bot in the comments, excellent video as always. It is interesting to see how eastern designs have great control in low speed. While from air show experience I’ve seen western jets posses great control in fast speed.

[straywolf]

Combine these maneuvers with helmet-mounted sights and off-boresight IR missiles. Yeah, 'not useful at all'....(/sarcasm)

[Penfold]

I see the Russian bots are alive and well and commenting here I see 😂

[getsideways]

So... Where exactly is the physics being bent in here? TVC is known to man for how long exactly? It's used in rocketry on a regular basis too. The Russians decided it was a good thing to put it on fighter jets, while the Americans mostly agreed on the gains not particularly worth the trouble (apart from the Raptor, that is). No physics bending whatsoever or even anything out of ordinary is happening here - the thing can't even do a tailstand. If it could tail hover and especially land like X-13 Vertijet, now that would be pretty impressive indeed.

What I really want to know, this is why I ask why I read so many Americans, endlessly claiming the F-22 is so much better than the Russian SU-57, (that relies on washing machine, chip technology), and has the radar cross-section (RCS) of a Jumbo jet? LOL.

Firstly, they can't know the RCS of any military aircraft, as they're always classified, so really, just what is it all about? And then, if you ask, what they've ever seen the F-22, actually do?, (that would allow them to hold that opinion), you'll only find they can answer that, (as they've never seen the F-22 do anything), well, other than flying over a beach on a YouTube Video.

And, even worse, they don't even ask the obvious questions? Questions like, what do either the F-22 or F-35's have available to them to detect, track, and target enemy stealth aircraft from BVR (beyond visual range)? If they had asked that one question, then maybe, just maybe, they'd start to understand that today's reality, is nothing at all like they think! Seemingly they also don't understand, that stealth alone, defeats high-frequency (short wave), radar, by absorption and deflection, but it does not defeat low-frequency (long wave radar).

To detect, track, and target enemy stealth aircraft from BVR, can be done with long-wave radar, (but it must also be enhanced), to remove all background clutter for targeting purposes. So regardless of the aircraft's RCS (they all believe means so much), when they're being detected, tracked and targetted by long wave radar, they're far from stealthy, and they just light up, and stand out, like a beacon in the night.

Well, the facts are, that neither the APG-77 radar in the F-22, or the APG-81 radar in the F-35, have any kind of long wave radar, meaning, they can't detect any enemy stealth aircraft from BVR. This is also a fact, the US air force must be fully aware of. Only it seems, the reality is, when the F-35 radars were being designed 14 years ago, there weren't any other stealth aircraft to think about as a potential threat!

So, just what do the F-22 or the F-35, actually have available to them to detect enemy stealth aircraft from BVR? They have AWACS, (that can transfer all targetting data to the F-22 - F-35's in real time). Only, that's not possible today. And this is why actually understanding any potential adversaries real abilities, becomes extremely important, critical in fact.

Because, on the other hand, this (Russian rubbish), they all claim, is equipped with a 5th generation radar, (with enhanced long-wave radar), their new Byelka (2band) radar used in SU-57. They can detect, track, and target enemy stealth jets from BVR, pretty easily today. They've designed, and developed, the first L-Band fighter radar we've ever seen. They've embedded L-band AESA radars into the leading edges of the wings.

The L-band AESA radar "data" gets processed in real time (through extremely powerful Russian computers), being significantly enhanced, removing all background clutter, seeing them perfectly able to detect, track, and engage enemy stealth aircraft from BVR.

This new radar technology, along with its very impressive range parameters, and it's jamming ability (over very large areas) make this aircraft deadly to all other aircraft types. (But according to the Americans), it's just Russian rubbish.

They can also detect, track, and target enemy stealth fighters, long before they enter Russian airspace, (from much greater distances today), with "real-time" data from all those massive Russian ground (long wave stations), that are all protected with the networked S-400 defensive system.

This new (2band) radar, covers all frequencies across all channels, used for tracking, targeting, and also for jamming (over large areas). It's part of Sh121 multifunctional integrated radio electronic system (MIRES) on board the SU-57.

So, it's also important to understand that Russia successfully tested this new radar in the SU-35's, so they also have the option of fitting this radar into the SU-35's. Then, seeing the SU-35E at no disadvantage against either the F-22/35.

As although the SU-35E can be detected, tracked, targeted and shot down from BVR by the US stealth fighters, the SU-35 equipped with this new radar is just as able to detect, track, target and shoot down the US stealth fighters from BVR. Seeing the all-important, Russian advantage, in BVR missile range, plus the excellent manoeuvring, neither the F-22/F-35 have, as more than critical, (if you're going to avoid simply being blown out of the sky).

The truth is, this new Russian 5th generation radar design, has very clear potentials, to provide genuine shared multifunction apertures, with applications including...
Search, track, and destroy, missile mid-course guidance, against low signature aircraft, identification of friend or foe with secondary surveillance radar.
Passive angle tracking and geolocation of JTIDS-MIDS-Link-16 emitters at long ranges.
Passive angle tracking and geolocation of L-band AEWC - AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges.
Passive angle tracking and geolocation of hostile (i.e. Western) IFF and SSR transponders at long ranges.

High-powered active jamming of JTIDS-MIDS-Link-16 emitters.
High-powered active jamming of satellite navigation receivers over large areas.
High-powered active jamming of L-band AEWC-AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges.
High-powered active jamming of guided munition command data links over large areas. [Effectively, and completely, neutralizing the USA's use of AWACS for their detection].

The Tikhomirov NIIP L-band AESA radar, is an extremely important strategic development, and it's a technology which once fully matured and deployed in useful numbers, will render narrowband stealth designs like the F-22 & F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and many, UAVs, as highly vulnerable to all flanker variants equipped with such radars.

What could the F-16 achieve in Ukrainian airspace today?, or in fact, how long could an F-16 survive in Ukrainian airspace? I'd have to estimate the F-16, would have a combat life expectancy of less than 30 minutes over Ukraine, (and that's extremely generous). You only need to understand what it would be facing?

Regardless, that we already know it can't survive against the S-300 anti-air defences, it would then need to survive against, for example, a Russian SU-35E? So, how could it survive, is the only real question that counts? The SU-35E is classified a "4++ Generation Fighter" - though its true capabilities go well beyond the original/current crop of 4 & 4+ Generation mounts like the F-15, 16, 18, Eurofighter Typhoon, French Dassault Rafael etc.

The SU-35E has a forward and rear-facing Phazotron radar system capable of simultaneous tracking of 34 targets up to 92 miles, (even over extremely uneven terrain).

Its cockpit design contains a colour CRT display unit, as well as HUD (Head-Up Display unit) along with digital fly-by-wire (FBW) capability equipped with quadruple redundancy - the onboard computers will always find four different ways to achieve the desired results of its combat mission. Its avionics also include an Irbis-E passive phased array radar system.

The SU-35E only falls short of the standard adopted for true 5th Generation, by its lack of stealth, however, as we've seen, the SU-35's tactical value has increased massively, and its overall combat ability has broadened considerably.

The F-16 is, in effect, an obsolete, unusable aircraft in Ukraine, and in every way imaginable, and they all must know this, really. And that shows us all the real level of desperation we really are seeing from the USA.

A Russian SU-57 flying well behind the front lines in Russian airspace, detected a Ukrainian SU-27, deep in Ukrainian airspace heading toward Kiev, about 300 km's away, the SU-57 tracked then fired a Russian very long range Vympel R-37 (NATO "Axehead") hypersonic air-to-air BVR missile at the Ukrainian SU-27, from a range of well over 250 km's, blowing it out of the sky, and smashing the previous BVR missile kill range world record, to utter smithereens!
