The 23rd Fighter Aviation Regiment (IAP) of the Russian Air Force operates the Su-35S Flanker-E, a modernized version of the Su-27 with advanced avionics and thrust-vectoring capabilities. Based at the Domna airbase in the Russian Far East, the regiment is tasked with air superiority missions and provides a critical defense role in the region. The Su-35S's enhanced radar systems, long-range missiles, and superior maneuverability make it one of the most formidable fighters in the Russian fleet. The 23rd IAP's Su-35S fleet plays a key role in Russia's defense and has participated in various military exercises and operational deployments. 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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
