Russian military sources confirmed to the channel "Russia Today" that the Egyptian army is preparing for the first time in its history to possess a Russian air force fighter, "Sukhoi-35", after pictures of it appeared on its way to Egypt.
The sources pointed out that this heavy and long-range fighter would give the Egyptian army priority over the region, and that was why the United States objected to it in a big way.
Pictures of the first five "Sukhoi-35" fighters designated for the Egyptian Air Force were en route to Egypt, as the planes made a flight to the European part of Russia, and the photos showed that the fighters carried numbers from 9210 to 9214.
The Su-35 poses a threat to American fighters in the air battle. It belongs to the +++ generation and can compete with the American warplanes such as "F-15 Eagle", F / A-18 and even "F-35" for the fifth generation. It is an evolving model for the legendary Soviet "Sukhoi-27" fighter jet that was produced in 1988.
