Rank 85 in the Aviation Heroes collection, this print treats the Su-35S Flanker-E as the 4++ generation capstone of the Sukhoi Flanker lineage — not as anonymous grey jet clip art. The 22nd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment carries one of the oldest fighter regiments in Russian service, a unit that traded Su-27s for Su-35S airframes as Moscow pushed thrust-vectoring supermaneuverability and Irbis-E radar into front-line air-defence rotations. Here the Super Flanker sits in clean technical profile: white R-77-class missiles on the wings, red star roundels on the tails, and that unmistakable twin-tail LERX silhouette collectors spot across a flight line.
