Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 3)

That pancaked su35 wreck was originally claimed f16’s kill by AviVector(which was then taken on by many journalists and youtubers)

Later he clarified it was by a patriot not a f16

Ok your description checks out with the image I had in mind.

Thanks for clarifying then.

I think su-35 should be more than one air loss but I think we’ll only ever know after conflict end

I think so too, I hardly trust both sides when it comes to losses, so only time will tell I guess.

We’re are talking only air to air records.
Not ground destroyed included

If it’s only air to air records then su35s hasn’t been downed yet

I suppose you’re right in that regard since UA only confirmed one by their f16

Have any of them been destroyed on the ground?

The airfield losses have been quite significant in general, from what I could see. Even heavy planes and bombers.

I think airfield vulnerability was quite evident.

I think a few damaged, don’t recall anything about destroyed outright by arson or drones

There is a question about fate of one Su-35 that spilled fuel on Spy Drone.

This one?

Yeah

Wasn’t this just a su27?

this is clearly an Su-27, look at the tail and the sensor tubes around the cockpit

Su34m doesn’t exist as far as i am aware right ?

Yes

If you drop the Kh-31PDs on a test flight


You get free Kh-31PD exhaust without any Kh-31PD attached.

For some reason, every Su-34 pilot I’ve seen can be encapsulated with that one image of the dog with the spinny hat and lolipop.
