In the fourteen days of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian S-400 air defense system and the Su-35 fighter, showing very good performance and achieving good results, the S-400 air defense system on the 25th of last month, from 150 kilometers away from Kiev, fired anti-aircraft missiles at the Ukrainian Su-27 fighter and shot it down, creating the world's farthest shooting record.
The Soviet-35 fighter of the Russian Air force has also achieved good results on the battlefield and proved its strength. Although the Russian Air and Space Force suffered relatively heavy losses at the beginning of the war, losing more than 20 fixed-wing fighters and helicopters in just 14 days, the Ukrainian air defense forces used only a small number of beech and Stinger missiles, which caused huge casualties to the Russian army. On March 5, the Russian Air Force ushered in its darkest day, with 10 aircraft shot down by Ukraine in succession, including advanced top fighters such as the Su-34 and Su-30SM.
But on the contrary, the Performance of the Su-35 fighter, which was thought to be only a cameo appearance, was impressive, and according to the russian military's news and videos circulating on the Internet, it can be confirmed that the Su-35 fighter jet shot down 4 Su-27 fighters of the Ukrainian Air Force at the cost of 0 casualties, which could not help but make people shine.
On the same day, the Ukrainian General Staff issued a strategic order for the whole army to counterattack the Russian army, but the battle has entered the 10th day or so, the Russian army has attacked in an all-round way from the north, southeast, and three major directions, fighting Ukraine is retreating, except for a few large cities Ukraine is holding on to help, the overall war situation has deteriorated significantly. Moreover, the strategic reserve was no longer available, and its air force was severely damaged by the Russian army at the beginning of the war, and it was already half-crippled. Therefore, the Ukrainian General Staff issued an order for a strategic counteroffensive at this time, which was undoubtedly an unrealistic paper talk, but the military order was like a mountain, and the Ukrainian Air Force had to piece together 4 Su-27 fighters to start a counterattack.
Therefore, from March 5th, the Ukrainian Air Force began to dispatch to counterattack the Russian army, but in the face of the Russian air force that controlled the air, this move was tantamount to a moth to put out fire.
The Russian army quickly dispatched Su-35S fighters for interception missions, the Su-35S fighter is Russia's second only to the Su-57 stealth fighter heavy air superiority aircraft, facing the Ukrainian Su-27 has an absolute advantage, such as the aircraft's avionics, radar, weapons systems, Su-35S is more than a generation ahead of the Su-27 fighter. Therefore, the Su 35S took the lead in the air battle to find the Ukrainian Air Force Su-27 fighter, 80 kilometers away from it launched an improved type of R-77-1 medium-range air-to-air missile, and the Su-27 radar is still a traditional airborne radar, even passive phased array radar can not be compared, the effective range of the missile is less than 60 kilometers, in the face of the Su 35S advanced fighter, not only "myopia" but also "short hands", therefore, in the face of the Su 35S only passive beating.
Therefore, the Soviet 35S of the Russian Air force seems to have been "killed crazy", a total of 4 Ukrainian Su-27 fighters have been shot down in a row, which can be described as a world war fame, with the results to play a full of publicity effect of the advertisement, but also to those who have been belittling the Su 35S fighter a strong refutation. The PLAAF unit did not buy this fighter in vain, which is obviously worth the money. The Chinese Air Force has previously purchased 24 Su-35S fighters from Russia, and there have been rumors that it is criticized as a chicken rib, but after the excellent actual combat performance of this battle, it has been proved that the Su-35 is fully qualified as a third-generation and a half-generation fighter, and the actual combat performance can be called excellent.
To Tiger Brother, after this war, with the prestige of the fight, the Su-35 may usher in a new export order, like Iran has ordered a number of Su-35 fighters before, may continue to order from Russia because of the excellent performance of the Su-35 fighter, the rest of the countries such as India and Venezuela, or will purchase Su-35 fighters from Russia, India has a large number of Su-30MKI fighters, Venezuela also has a Su-30MK2 fighter, all have sufficient experience in the use of Russian-made fighters, Therefore, the Su-35 may be successfully exported.
At that time, the Sukhoi Design Bureau can rely on orders to continue a wave of life, so this war is not only a pure conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but also a "training ground" for new Russian-made export weapons, or "advertising war", many advanced weapons in Russia have performed well in this conflict, which may further increase Russian arms exports and help feed the Russian economy from the side.
