The content of this publication focuses on the modern Su-35S aircraft, which is one of the most advanced fourth-generation fighters with additional fifth-generation features, used by the Russian Federation during the modern era (introduced into service after 2013). The aircraft has been used, among others, in Russian air operations in Syria and during international exercises and is currently also being exported to other countries.

This publication thoroughly documents nearly every aspect of the aircraft’s design: the fuselage, nose section, wings, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, modern landing gear, and the impressive thrust vectoring engine nozzles. The unique educational value of this edition lies in its precision—on 116 pages, there are hundreds of color photographs, including an 8-page chapter showcasing the glazed cockpit equipped with advanced multifunction displays.

One of the strong points of the book is the excellent action photography—dynamic shots allow readers to understand the aerodynamics, agility, and innovation of the Flanker E. It is an ideal choice for any modeler building the Su-35S in any scale, aviation historians, and enthusiasts of modern military technologies.
