A columnist for the American portal The National Interest gave an assessment to the advanced Russian Su-35 fighter.
As PolitRussia reports, the Russian Defense Ministry recently announced that in just a week 6 drones and 30 spy planes were detained while conducting reconnaissance along the Russian borders.
The National Interest notes that there is no data on the types of aircraft that tracked uninvited guests. According to experts, the newest Russian Su-35 could become the most effective interceptor.
The Russian Su-35 multipurpose super-maneuverable fighter is capable of easily intercepting any type of reconnaissance aircraft. The experts of the American portal called him “the most dangerous hunter in the sky”.
“Powerful AL-41F1S engines with a highly controlled thrust vector allow the Russian fighter to fly at supersonic speed without using afterburner. This helps him to “catch” most of the reconnaissance aircraft with relative ease”, – as was noted in the publishing house.
