Footage released by the Defense Ministry shows air superiority fighter jets operating in low-visibility conditions at night, using their afterburners to illuminate the night sky and performing tactical cover maneuvers.
Manufactured by Sukhoi, the Su-35S is one of the most advanced aircraft in service with the Russian Air Force, equipped with active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and the latest electronic warfare systems. This allows the aircraft to maintain air superiority and protect allied forces during complex missions.
