Su-35S Flanker-E — 2 museum-grade prints, engineered to a wall. The Su-35S represents the pinnacle of the classic Flanker airframe before fifth-generation Su-57 production scaled — export orders to China and ongoing Russian service keep the type at the centre of discussions about 4++ generation air superiority. Thrust-vectoring demonstrations at Paris, Zhuhai, and MAKS air shows cemented Flanker cultural status among sim pilots and aviation enthusiasts worldwide. The Sukhoi Su-35S entered Russian Aerospace Forces service around 2014 as a deeply modernised Flanker derivative — NATO reporting name Flanker-E — pairing AL-41F1S thrust-vectoring engines with the Irbis-E passive electronically scanned array radar and a weapons suite centred on the R-77-1 beyond-visual-range missile. Unlike the Su-30 family, the Su-35S omits canards while retaining the large LERX and twin-tail planform that defined the original Su-27.
