Russia to complete delivery of the final batch of Su-35S fighter jets in 2025.
Rostec Corporation announced the completion of its 2025 Su-35S production plan with a record number of aircraft, significantly enhancing the combat capabilities of the Russian Air Force.
The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), a subsidiary of the state-owned Rostec technology group, has officially announced the completion of deliveries of Su-35S multirole fighter jets as part of its 2025 production plan. The final batch of fighters has been delivered to the Russian Ministry of Defense on schedule, marking the completion of all production targets for this aircraft type this year.
Record production for the Russian aviation industry.
According to a press release from Rostec on December 25, 2025 set a new record for the Russian aviation industry in terms of the number of fighter aircraft delivered. The rapid delivery rate demonstrates the high-intensity operational capability of the defense industrial complex in meeting state military orders.
Maintaining this production pace not only ensures timely weapons deliveries but also reflects stability in Russia's high-tech supply chain. Rostec emphasizes that aircraft manufacturers are continuously expanding their capabilities and improving technical processes to maintain air superiority.
The Su-35S's superior combat capabilities.
The Su-35S multirole fighter jet currently plays a pivotal role in the Russian Air Force. This fighter model is highly regarded for its exceptional maneuverability, advanced avionics, and powerful weapons systems. In combat reports, the Su-35S has proven effective in destroying numerous critical targets and maintaining air superiority.
The radar and sensor systems on the Su-35S allow pilots to detect and track multiple targets simultaneously at long distances, providing an advantage in both air combat and ground attack. The addition of this new batch of aircraft will directly strengthen the main air force regiments, enabling pilots to perform the most complex missions.
Modernizing the fighter jet fleet.
The delivery of the Su-35S is the final stage in UAC's broader strategy to supply the military with modern aviation systems. Earlier in November, the Russian Ministry of Defense also received batches of the new generation Su-30SM2 multirole fighter jets. These aircraft have received positive feedback from pilots regarding their performance and operational reliability.
This systematic innovation demonstrates the ability to promptly meet the needs of the front lines and the determination to maintain the highest level of national defense capabilities. In the coming year, aircraft manufacturers are expected to continue improving technology and optimizing existing fighter jet lines to adapt to the modern warfare environment.
