STL-Su-35

The Sukhoi Su-35 is the final evolution of the Su-27 Flanker, born in the early 2000s when Sukhoi set out to give the airframe a second life without waiting for a fifth-generation design. Outwardly it keeps the long fuselage, twin fins and blended wing of its ancestor, but the canards and the dorsal airbrake of earlier prototypes were deleted, the structure was reinforced for a service life of 6,000 flight hours, and the cockpit was rebuilt around two large multifunction displays. The prototype first flew on 19 February 2008, and the production Su-35S entered service with the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2014. Its two AL-41F1S turbofans each deliver about 86 kN dry and up to 142 kN with afterburner through thrust-vectoring nozzles, which let the pilot point the nose well beyond the limits of conventional controls, while the Irbis-E passive electronically scanned radar can detect fighter-sized targets at very long range. Reaching about Mach 2.25 at altitude and 1,400 km/h at sea level, it remains one of the most agile heavy fighters ever built. In this version it carries its internal 30 mm GSh-30-1 cannon, two GSh-23 gun pods, two R-73 short-range missiles and two Kh-31 air-to-surface missiles. Remastered by STL785 from XF's Su-35.
