Su-35 (Su-37) MULTIPURPOSE FIGHTER
The Su-35 (Su-37) multipurpose fighter is intended to
defeat existing and prospective aerial targets, remote-
ly piloted vehicles, cruise missiles and other maneuver-
able targets against earth background, in the daytime
and at night, in VFR and IFR weather conditions, and
also to destroy ground/waterborne targets by deliver-
ing standoff attacks with diverse guided weapons,
including high-precision ones.
The Su-35 is a heavily modernized version of the Su-27
aircraft to significantly enhance its combat effective-
ness against aerial, ground and sea targets.
For better agility and takeoff/landing performance, the
aircraft is provided with a canard. In terms of its aero-
dynamic configuration, the Su-35 is an unstable triplane
(wing + horizontal tail + canard). The required stability
and controllability characteristics are assured through a
quadruple-redundant digital-analog remote control sys-
tem. The Su-35 is equipped with a newly developed
wing featuring an increased relative thickness. The main
landing gear struts are modified and the nose leg is
replaced with a reinforced two-wheel strut. The aircraft
is equipped with an in-flight refueling system. The KD-
36DM ejection seat back is inclined at 30°, which helps
the pilot withstand high g-loads during air combat.
The Su-35 is equipped with an integrated aiming and
navigation system comprising:
- new-generation multifunction multimode phased-
array radar able to detect and track up to 20 aerial tar-
gets and simultaneously engage eight of them;
- optical locator which combines functions of an infrared
imager, laser range finder and target illuminator;
- rearward-looking radar;
- helmet-mounted target designator;
- electronic reconnaissance and defense systems;
- integrated data system;
- communications facilities and flight control and navi-
gation equipment.
