Does it look like those Khibiny pods are a bit different than the usual ones?  They look like they have a pointy tip now instead of the usual rounded ones.  They must be new pods most likely with improved capabilities.

Looking at the still on the beginning of the video you can see that pointed tip is clearly different from the usual ones, and it also has a radiation warning on it. Does that mean they also have a radar/seeker or something now? I don't remember the old ones having a radiation warning.

it seems there are 2 delivered from photos/video

Follow the leader.  What was that line in Top Gun?  "Never leave your wingman!"

MOSCOW, May 8. /TASS/. The Russian Aerospace Forces received a batch of new Su-35S multirole fighters of generation 4++. They were produced by the Gagarin Aircraft Plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) said.

"The plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur has reached a rhythmical production pace this year. It is the second batch of combat aircraft delivered to the Aerospace Forces. The plant fulfils the commitments in the deliveries of new aircraft and works to create new batches of serial Su-35 and Su-57 jets," UAC CEO Yury Slyusar said.

Su-35S have passed ground and flight trials and flew from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the deployment airfield.

Su-35S (Flanker-E+ by NATO classification) is a deeply upgraded super maneuverable multirole fighter jet of generation 4++ designed with fifth-generation technologies. It is distinguished by a new digital avionic complex, a new radar with passive phased antenna array and increased number of simultaneously tracked and attacked targets, plasma-ignition engines of increased capacity and controllable vectoring. The engines correspond to fifth-generation power plants as they develop supersonic speed without a boost. Su-35S is a deep upgrade of Su-27. It has a reinforced glider and no frontal horizontal fins and brake flap. Braking at landing is done by turning rudders to different sides.

So far, 4 Su-35S units in almost half a year. "Deadly" pace of production.

Don't you get tired of acting like an idiot?
There is a reason why they blur out the identification number of each aircraft, and it is because information regarding the number of deliveries has been classified data since the beginning of the war, we do not know how many aircraft they received.

Arrow wrote:That is, two additional Su-35S. Since the beginning of the year, a total of 4 pieces, and soon half a year will pass. A very small number.

Su-35s contract of 30 aircrafts is near completion + contrary to Su-34 the losses of Su-35s in SMO arent many

The factory typically delivers aircraft in batches of 3 or 4. They tripled working hours. But sure believe whatever you want.

Sounds like the upgraded Su-35 supercruises before the F-35 can...

Looking forward to the US complaining about Iranian Su-35s, but it will take decades to make Su-35s for Iran wont it?
