Russia is set to deliver next week 24 of its most
advanced Su-35S fighter jets.

This is according to foreign reports which emphasize that
Russia is ready to help Iran strengthen its air defense
with both Su-35s and satellite services and ballistic
missile technology.

The case of the supply of Su-35s to Iran has been going
on for a long time without anything tangible until now.
Following Russia's purchase of Iranian suicide drones, the
Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) has reportedly
considered acquiring the Sukhoi Su-35 in exchange for
further deliveries of ammunition, drones and ballistic
missiles to Russia.

It was also reported that the training of Iranian pilots had
started in the spring of 2022 and that the aircraft were
ready to be delivered in 2023.
The deal included the 24 Su-35s that had been built for
Egypt, but to date there have been no clear reports of
their delivery to Iran.

The deal was confirmed by Iran's state-run Tasnim news
agency on December 28, 2022 and on January 15, 2023
by an Iranian lawmaker who said supplies would begin in
the spring and also said Iran has ordered air defense and
missile systems from Russia as well as helicopters.
However, in July 2023, Iranian Defense Minister
Mohammad-Reza Gharaei Ashtiani made vague
statements suggesting that Iran was reconsidering the
acquisition of the Su-35 due to increasing investment in
domestic fighter manufacturing capabilities, leading
some sources to state that the deal has collapsed.

In the meantime the Iranian Air Force has received the
advanced Yak-130 trainer.

On November 28, 2023, Iran's deputy defense minister
announced that Iran had finalized a deal to purchase Su-
35 aircraft from Russia, although no further details on
the quantity or timing were shared.

For three hours, everything shows that even after the
tension with Israel, Iran seems to be proceeding with the
acquisition of the aircraft, considering that they will
significantly strengthen it.

Iran is set to receive around 24 advanced Russian Su-35 'Flanker-E'
fighter jets, significantly upgrading its aging air force. The Su-35 is a
formidable 4++ generation multirole fighter known for air superiority
capabilities like powerful sensors, maneuverability, and an array of

Russia might be planning to secretly send Su-35 fighter jets to
Iran, which would greatly improve Iran's air force.
Russia has also offered to help Iran develop spy satellites and build

Russia to transfer 24 Su-35 fighter jets to Iran next week
