definitely the prettiest fighter jet ever made
watch F22. And F22 would kill su35 in the sky ;:) it's old tech.
@@bekeneel lol f22 can't even kill a balloon

@@bekeneel F-22 was discontinuied.
F-22 has never been in aerial combat and never will be.
I was present at the 1992 airshow and recall how even the US pilots were impressed by its manoeuvrability. Also present was the Yak-38 v/stol aircraft. It took off vertically once, burnt a huge hole in the runway and then was banned from doing it again 😂
That was badass. Where can I learn more about that Yak-38 incident.
awesome in maneuvers but weak in term of avionic and radar
@@jagodiving no actualy the best , the russians invent that stuff ,and it was the russian after all who first build a radar in a jet to find enemys^^ bet u know nothing about russian avionic history
@@QuicksilverVM ok am blind about russian avonic but actually since USSR end in 1991, rusia's military technology develop lower in invention, for exp russia's radar technology stuck in PESA radar while its counterpart like China and US have made matured AESA radar
@@jagodiving weak in avionics? you are delusional.
Flankers are flying masterpieces. The su47 berkut is my favorite jet of all time.
Same. 47 looks absolutly amazing.
The radar on the Su 35 must be massive, that nose radome at 6:31 is huge. A very beautiful aircraft and a fierce 4+ jet no doubt.
That specific aircraft was the venerable su34 which I think has an air to ground and air to air radar in it's nose and is also wide because it is a two seater. The su34 is a multirole fighter so it can carry all the missiles of other flanker models, but it is primarily used as a ground attack aircraft. One of my favorites for sure!
It is indeed a beautiful aircraft

"Air Supremacy early in the war" (10:06)... When did that happen? Did I miss sonmething?
Refer to RUSI's report by Justin Bronk during the early days of the war.
During the early stages of the war the Ukrainian airforce could do little against the the Russian aircraft so they made the wise decision to move there aircraft to western Ukrainian and let the air defenses deal with the Russian aircraft, if they stayed and fought they would have been wiped out, they Russians didn't have air superiority thanks to Ukrainian s300s and manpads but they had air dominace
You did indeed but I am sure didnt miss out the ghost of kiev bullshit which didnt exist and was created to boost morale.
Right before Zelensky agreed to hold peace talks in Istanbul

Arguably, China is flying the best Flanker in the form of J-16 not the Russians.
The flankers are the most beautiful combat ever to fly, the silhouette is just beautiful in any variant.
SU 35 S / SM = Super killer.. beautiful killer.. ☝️👍👏👏👏
Very very beautiful plane. Especially from the front. It looks soooooo mean.
That's one sexy aircraft.
Su 35 is credited with downing about 25 aircraft in ukraine in one month using new 400km R 37 missile designed for su 57 the planes shot down are a mix of su 24/su 27/ su 25/mig 29s donated by Eastern European countries
R37M has a limited range of 150km if used by an SU-35M, since the Irbis-E radar is a quite primitive PESA
radar with just 20kw peak output. Only the MIG-31BM with its massive 400kw peak output Zaslon-M radar can THEORETICALLY use the weapon at 400km. 400km is still propaganda since EW and missile steering to hit a target drastically reduces Radar and missile kinetic performance.

@@aleksandarzoric2452 They had to 'burn through' ammunition, etc. How else do you stop the Mighty Orc Rabble?
I don't doubt you but is there any source for Su-35 being credited for 25 kills? I heard Su-30sm has had plenty of success when it comes to pure air superiority.
Holy crap...look at the moves that the plane can make....
Always my go-to for pretty much any flight sim/arcade fighter, the maneuverability and thrust of this was always off the charts compared to others in the game, add in the silly bonus of the best missiles all the time and this fighter is a cheat code in the air theater.
A remarkable aircraft this is
THE most sexy jet in operation, out there, with no rival. Armed with R37M, the world's best BVR missile (400+km range) is a deadly opponent, able to hunt & kill F15s easily, at a range at least 2x bigger than F15, both in detection range and weapons range.
Got any sources for the 'double' claim?
@@francodimitsy989 just search it up
@@francodimitsy989 check max engagement ranges of the AIM-120C-7 and the R-37M.
@@deanboy2416 Hmmm... I would say it's true but on 50% The 37M did hit the targed at 325km away twice (2 Ukrainan aircrafts, but it was SU 57). But the max range of 37M - 380km in theory (not 400+). Plus R-37 was desined for slow targets (tankers, AWACS), not shure that the 37M could hit F15 or F16 that far. Dual stage R-77M way more dangerous for F15/16s. I do not want to see that fights in real, but soon we will see it... 100%.
@@alexeyguskov8153 If it can hit a large slow moving target at 380-400km then it can probably hit a maneuvering fighter at around 250-300km no problem.
As for its design I'll say this: it is roughly in the same weight class as the AIM-54 Phoenix, and that missile had no trouble hitting fighter-sized maneuvering targets, so I dont think that the R-37M will have any trouble at all.
outstanding. and truly objective. thank you for not letting the desire for one nation or another to win influence your reporting of the facts.
i would say the ultimate flanker would be China's J16
definitely. J-16 combines a 27's handling with the world's most advanced technology, like if the soviet union was around today with its former economic and technological capabilties.
For a long time I thought the Su-35 had canards but now Im learning that Concept 1 has canards, Concept 2 had the current production design with just 3D TVC. They should give it back its canards and improve the radar to an EASA, give it a side joystick and redesignate "Su-37M Terminator II". Su-37 and 47 are my fav aircraft to ever fly, sad that their budgets dried up.
SU-30SM2 is it, with the front tail, new radar and SU-35 engine.

Jets lolling about in the sky at low speed and crazy angles are entertaining at air shows and such. Is there a practical application for such maneuvers? Obviously, some of the same control features can be judiciously used to great effect in real-world situations.
Its good for domestic consumption. Exciting airshow performances create a feeling of competency. But don't underestimate its WVR and BVR capabilities. Its presence will make sure the west will never enjoy air supremacy.
@@jamesharris9816 The Ruskies and their Su-35s can't even achieve air supremacy against a tinpot agrarian shithole right on their own border. God forbid they face NATO, they'll be wiped out.
Could give a pretty significant advantage in dogfights(however its unlikely they'd get into a dogfight in the first place). Depending on the type of pylons used to launch missiles they could get some high offbore sight shots off on target.
@@jamesharris9816 The West will never have air supremacy ... all because of some 100 souped up Flankers? 🤣

After su 30 mki they made there own same quality fighter know as su35. In 2019 after balakot air strike when Pakistani airforce attacked brigade headquarters at Jammu and Kashmir these su30 mki proved there superiority in air skirmish. Only 2 su 30 mki controlled more than 15-20 Pakistani aircraft..
Aha, the Indian variants SU 30 MKI is completely made in India with lot of variation is now In Darwin, is part of Pitch Black, I have been to the Air Show. On the open day, man the looks of this engine and attraction it got was wild...
Beautiful...well beyond anything else.

Erbis i is not a pesa is an aesa radar
Gorgeous...
Ukraine has lost about 400 airplanes and on fighter bomber channel they claim that about half was shot down by su 35 versions and a few by mig 31 with long range radar missles. Ukraine airforce was terrible bad but also they had very bad short range missles againt russian long range stuff. To bad the F16 also will have bad short rtange versions of amrams. Having short range missles in 2024 is like flying an slow airplane in ww2.
You should go into the derivatives of the flanker airframes. Like the ones used in China like the J11's and 16's for their airforce.
Your jealousy keeps on telling the world that SU35 is a SU22 named as SU35. What about F35 that is a boring and fat F16?
Beautiful bird, among if not the most capable of its time. Unfortunately the need for dogfight features has now been decreased as stealth is taking over. We will only see less and less manouverable jets in the future, mostly compromises for stealth.
Interesting. And nice music at the end!

But we cannot know for sure what exactly shot them down; perhaps it was the S400 or S350 air defense.

The kingdom of the United States will fall at any moment. The entire Church of Christ will be taken up to The Lord and disappear, it will happen very soon, the Christians are going to disappear. Jesus Christ will come quickly and take away all who believe in Him before the Wrath of the Lord begins. Repent, put your faith in Jesus Christ only, this is the truth, remember this message.
Jhon 3:-16-18
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
Mathew 24:29-31
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
This is certain and will happen at any time. But those who have not received Jesus Christ nor repented of their sins will remain on earth and will receive each and every one of the plagues that our Eternal Father has prepared for this moment. There will be 7 years of Wrath on the earth, resist until the end, put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will save your soul.
Revelation 13:16-17
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads,
17 that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Revelation14:9-10
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand,
10 the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out unmixed into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
Do NOT take the mark of the beast , there is no coming back from it.
2Tessalonians 2:7-12
7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,
10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
DO NOT BELIEVE ON THOSE THINGS YOU SEE ON TV AND THOSE (UFO 🛸 objects), THOSE THINGS ARE PART OF THE GREAT DELUSION, DO NOT BELIEVE ON WHAT THEY COME UP WITH SAYING ABOUT IT.
PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST ONLY, THE CHURCH IS ABOUT TO GO HOME AND WHOEVER TELLS THE LIE WILL MOST LIKELY BLAME THOSE THINGS FOR OUR DISAPPEARANCE.

I like f 35 but remember its vtol,stol technology have bought it by Lockheed martin after the collapse of soviet union...yak 144 ...lets look about f 35 vs su 75 check mate ,its the russian strategy to defeat f 35 n : 22
China is the first export user of the Su-35, but the purchase was made not because of the practical needs of the Chinese air force, but because of political concerns. By then China has already put its own 5th Gen fighter J-20 into service, and Chinese derivatives of the Flanker (e.g. the J-16) have avionics that is miles ahead of that of the Su-35.
Yes, I get the feeling the stealth might be a little bit ordinary, but otherwise it's a very competent, airframe. Very agile for such a big bird. Good payload, good range, excellent low-speed high alpha ability. You wouldn't want to get in close & tight against it.
I notice it still uses a mechanically steered radar array. That suggests the electronics and avionics are still about 20 years behind what the Americans have got. On the plus side, I wouldn't be all that surprised if the infra-red suite is actually better than what the yanks and NATO have.
The latest variation of the su35 has an rcs less than the f16
@@rajaydon1893 ~ well, I'm not sure that's something I'd be bragging about. The F-16 was designed in 1972 and stealth was never a consideration in the first 20+ years of it's life.
'70s planes from America, had twin tails at 90 deg to the airframe. They started to go away from that with the F/A 18. Russian air frames, they're still making them that way. Twin vertical tails is like a deliberately made radar reflector. There are very good reasons for them, in aerodynamics and handling and high alpha and agility, but from a stealth stand-point, that's a nightmare.
Now consider the Su-35 again ~ it has a smaller radar cross section than an F16. Ok, good. But that's still like an old metal bookshelf from the local library.
Let's make another comparison. Turkey is starting to make a stealth fighter, I can't quite remember the name, but it looks like an F-22 except it has round exhausts, not the rectangular thrust vectoring ones. If you told me it had pretty good stealth as long as it was faced mostly toward you, I'd accept that. Now how does your Su-35 compare to the latest from Turkey? Don't compare it to something that was designed before the fall of Saigon, compare it to something that's in the prototype stage now.
They have new aesa radars which haven't been shown to public ofcourse, pulling numbers straight out your ass

@@matt-o-glassmatt7023 ~ Matt, I don't think I'm understanding you correctly. What part of that is sci-fi and fantasy, never tested? Stealth?
In a visual range fight, I would back the Su-35 as being the equal of almost anything, but at 20 ~ 40 miles out, that's a different story. You can't fight what you can't see, and you can't beat somebody who can lock you up and launch beyond your detection range.
A pilot of an F-22 or an F-35 is never going to get inside 40 miles, because why give up your advantage? It's not meant to be an 'even fight' ~ that's what they're designed for.
Art in flight.
Not so sure about "ultimate Flanker", I'd bet the Su-30MKI or J-16 would be more advanced.

10:05 “it was reported that the SU-35 played a key role in achieving Air Supremacy during the early days of the war…”, you made such a good video and you had to go and blow all of your credibility at the end.🤥
The SU-35 fleet should have been able to establish Air Supremacy in the early days of the war had its capabilities not been squandered by incompetent operators and military planners.
I have heard on Russian TV that F35 was constructed according to the drawings of Soviet Yak-141, sold to Americans by aome traitor in 1990s.
But Yak-141 was not finished project and therefore F35 had some serious problems in its design.
Lockheed bought the VTOL from Yak141!
1) there was no traitor lmao. “Yakovlev announced that they had reached an agreement with Lockheed for funds of $385 to $400 million for three new prototypes and an additional static test aircraft to test improvements in design and avionics.”
Gunston, William 'Bill'; Gordon, Yefim (1997). Yakovlev Aircraft since 1924. London, UK: Putnam Aeronautical Books. ISBN 978-1-55750-978-9.
2) Lockheed and the Brits looked at the 3 engine layout with 2 additional canted turbojets, laughed, and said we could do better. Fat Amy has a single Pratt and Whitney engine with thrust vectoring nozzle and a massive rolls Royce lift fan behind the cockpit (thought it isn’t used in flight). So no, not anywhere near the same design, but it’s cool that there was an information exchange. Kind of a shame relations fell apart.
Comprehensive, circumspect introduction and look into the state of affairs of Russian aviation.
Though not an aviation enthusiast I always remember *Carlo Kopp's* 2003 article in *'Australian Aviation'* Magazine about the export of Flankers to Asia and how it stood in performance in contrast to the lockstep of Transatlantic reviews of the platform as nothing but super-maneuverable: 'outright incapable of fighting beyond visual range'...
Australia should have bought these Aircraft instead of the US Products. We also should have simply changed our French Diesel Subs to French Nuclear Subs and saved A$15 BILLION. So much for LABORs Economic ability.
@@exotica550
"Australia should have bought these Aircraft instead of the US Products."
To be fair, Russian - or Chinese - military equipment would have locked Australia into Sino-Russian doctrine, culture and politics.
With Hugh White, I'd say the only chance of Australia to remain neutral would have been to receive nuclear submarines and nuclear arms - and in consequence to cut all political ties to the US and the Commonwealth - in other words, a coup.
From there, a domestic defense industry would have to be set up - which is not exactly trivial (e.g. Australia has no nuclear industry, no aviation industry, no armor industry - solely some experience in submarine production).
At this point, all is too late as it would take two generations to get that kind of readiness...
Even if Australia would have openly joined China as a guarantor of it's territory, the US would have laid waste to Australian ports like the British did with neutral Denmark during the Napoleonic Wars...
Even a F-16-Viper destroys it.
this is funny, come up with something more logical.
Overrated.😊
As well as the F14
Eats F 22s for breakfast.
Wrong. The ultimate Su-35 is J-16.
This is not the ultimate flanker. The Chinese j16 is better than the su35 in every way
No. The Chinese engines are not up to snuff. They also really only bought the su35 for the engines to try to reverse engineer. The j16 is more a stepping stone. Everyone laughed at Chinese cars 20 years ago. Now they are better built than German cars. I’m sure the platform after the j16 will be a contender.
Su-35 has better kinematics, but that's about it when compared to the J-16. Supposedly in internal drills, Su-35's avionics are easily overwhelmed using electronics warfare, supposedly they even lose against J-10s and J-11Bs due to EW and combat integration in exercises. The unit that received them was kinda pissed about it, since they used to be a fairly elite unit before hand and they believed the plane held them back during exercise and in case of real conflict, the poor electronics and interoperability would relegate them to secondary roles.
@@WangGanChang VKS Flanker EW wingtip pods ‘Sorbstya’ are said to be extremely disruptive to not only other aircraft in the flight but to the flanker carrying them as well. Which sounds fairly detrimental. With that said, you never see VKS flankers over Ukraine fly without them. Which says something considering it’s just extra weight/drag.
Either way, I’d rather fight a su35 or j16 in a modern typhoon or Rafale, yet alone an f35 or f22. The east still has some way to go to catch up to the west. Although the Chinese have improved a lot, thanks to stealing western tech
