Egypt became the first air force in the region and the second country behind China to sign a contract for the Su-35. Both countries had contracted 24 aircraft each. The first delivery of the 24 Egyptian aircraft was planned for 2020 and completed by 2023. In July 2022 five Su-35s, believed to be built for Egypt were seen at the Sukhoi Aircraft Company in Novosibirsk. The Americans warned Egypt of possible sanctions if the purchase of any Russian aircraft was completed. 9213 was still flying in Russia without any national marking in 2021. Designed by the Soviet Union to challenge the superiority of fourth generation US fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20, 1977. This one seat Mach-2 fighter had the Soviet Union's first operational fly-by-wire system. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but it is built with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is exceptionally agile and is perhaps most famous for its "Cobra" maneuver, which is a short, sustained level flight at a 120 degree angle of attack, often performed at air shows. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
