June 23rd 2020

In the coming days, Egypt will receive the first batch of "Sukhoi Su-35" fighters, which were specially manufactured for the Egyptian Air Force, in a qualitative shift in which Cairo will enhance its defense and offensive capabilities.

The Russian website "Top War", which specializes in defense affairs, said that the first batch of fighters took off from the airport of "Komsomolsk-on-Amor" airline, and went to the European part of Russia, where it will be delivered to the customer.

In 2018, Russia and Egypt signed a contract to supply 24 fighters of this type at a value of two billion dollars.

The arrival of these fighters comes at a time when Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said on Thursday that "very serious challenges" are facing the country, and require that "the Egyptians be the heart of one man."

What distinguishes "Sukhoi Su-35"?

Sukhoi type Su-35 is a Russian air fighter, in addition to being a multi-role, single-seat, twin-engine fighter, which is a superior maneuverability belonging to the generation of 4++ fighters, designed by the company "Sukhoi".

Its length is about 22 meters and height of about 6 meters, and its speed reach 2800 km / h at an altitude of 11 km, which is more than the American stealth fighter F35 with a speed of 1900 km / h.
The range of the plane is 3600 km, and its maximum range may reach 4,500 km, in case external fuel tanks are added. This long range gives the aircraft a great ability to reach remote targets without having to refuel if necessary, but it also has the ability to refuel in the air.

Armament capacity

The Sukhoi 35 is armed with an internal machine gun containing 150 30-mm rounds (Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1), in addition to 12 suspension points (two suspension points on the flanks of the wings, 6 points under the wings and 4 points under the airframe) they are loaded with Air-to-air, air-to-ground missiles and anti-ship missiles.

The fighter is equipped with multiple types of short, medium and long-range missiles with high hit accuracy, as well as an advanced radar system that gives them the ability to track a large number of enemy targets and destroy all types of air, land and sea targets.

Its superior maneuverability and long-range air-to-air missiles ensure its qualitative superiority in the case of air combat with modern enemy fighters.

The problem witrh the Su35 is that even if the aircraft meets its design parameters and its avionics are finally at the same level as China and the west, it is still backed by the poor quality BVR missiles with low PK ratios...

True, but for Egypt these missiles are still a huge boost since these are the only BVR missiles that they have.

Don't expect that anytime soon..The BVR part is covered now with more than 100 generation 4++ fighters; Rafale, Mig-35 and SU-35.. can you imagine what 220 F-16s can do in WVR and in ground attack!?


My friend, Egypt is just modernizing its air fore, it had Mirage from France modernised by Rafale, Mig-21 from Russia modernized by Mig-35.. the Chinese F-7 to be modernized by the JF-17 BLK III.. Egypt even had Su-7, Su-17 and Su-20 before..modernized by the SU-35 now.

Uncle SAM wants to do his part too and upgrade the F-16s..this is according to very recent news..

Does Egypt posses meteor?

Yes Meteor was part of the Rafale deal as well as the SCALP..

You already posses Meteor and uncle sam still refuses to sell you aim-120 wow.

Did you know China bought 24 SU-35 from Russia?

Uncle Sam is going to upgrade the Egyptian F-16s..they have announced it.. but not the package yet..

With all due respect this saddens me. I wanted EAF to get rid of the older F-16s so PAF could buy it, anyways congrats to EAF.

How in the mummy this pyramid country fielding top of the line military hardware from all around the world.

China will using them for strike role only. Recently J-10C raped Su-35 in an exercise which is not surprising considering the how superior PL-15 and PL-10 are to their Russian air to air counterparts.

I guess it's that regular USA Aid which is given by murica to Egypt & other Arab nations to not attack Israel.

Arab nations are arming Egypt for Turkey not for not attacking Israel.

Even if that was to happen ..the deal would still need the US approval..

@The SC IMO Egypt should have never bought Mig-35, they should have gone for Su-35 from the start. Mig-35 makes no sense in the presence of Rafale, Su-35 and Viper. Rafale will be your ace fighter, Su-35 is your strike aircraft that can fight just as well as Mig-35, Viper will be your backbone if you get AMRAAMs otherwise they will be used as interceptors and ground attack aircrafts. If you guys do get AMRAAMs then I see slim chances of Jeff coming to EAF.

There is this concept of HI/LO..that is made by the Mig-35 and Su-35..the same as the one made by the F-16 and F-15 in the US and Usrael..
Jeff is to replace the old F-7 and maybe a few as much as 30 oldest frame F-16s that have not been upgraded to the Blk 40 before.. so it has noting to do with the AMRAAM..in fact every new fighter procurement will have BVR capabilities..

Egypt should only buy SU30 and the old third hand Mig-29 (previously used by Belarus and Ukraine) from the Algerian superpower, they are far better than the Russian SU35 and new Migs. We always said it but no one hears. Even if the Algerians will be left without any jets remaining in their air force, but who cares? they are a superpower and can compensate for them very quickly

I would be extremely happy if Egypt buy Jeffs. This will allow PAF to see blk3 vs Rafale in a detailed manner, the information that PAF will be able to gather through this will be priceless.
