The Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) received another batch of Su-35S fighter jets which were produced by the Gagarin Aircraft Plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) announced on May 8

“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 fulfills 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.

The Su-35S was designed by the JSC Sukhoi Company to engage all types of aerial targets in long and close ranged air battles as well as to attack ground and sea-surface targets including those covered by air defenses and located far behind the frontline.

This was the second batch of Su-35S fighter jets to be delivered to the VKS this year. The first batch was handed over on April 11.
