The Russian Government sent Sukhoi Su-35S "Flanker E" aircraft belonging to the 23rd Fighter Aviation Regiment, 303rd Guards Composite Air Division to Latakia, Syria in an effort to support President al-Assad’s government. One of the Su-35S was Red 06RF-95816 that was delivered to Russian Forces in November 2015. Russia also saw this deployment as a great opportunity to field test the Su-35S under combat conditions as well as giving the crews valuable training and increase demand for the aircraft from foreign buyers. Designed by the Soviet Union to challenge the superiority of fourth generation US fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20, 1977. This one seat Mach-2 fighter had the Soviet Union's first operational fly-by-wire system. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but it is built with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is exceptionally agile and is perhaps most famous for its "Cobra" maneuver, which is a short, sustained level flight at a 120 degree angle of attack, often performed at air shows. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
