At the end of January Russian aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi has flight tested its Serial Three Su-35S Flanker-E multipurpose jet fighter for the first time.
During the test which lasted more than two hours, the aircraft's propulsion and control systems were put through their paces and "proved to be flawless," the company said. Additional details on the initial flight test have not been disclosed.
The Su-35S is based on the earlier Su-27 but with an improved airframe, two central digital computers, advanced avionics and new radar with phased array antennas.
