“UAC enterprises fulfilling the state defense order, including the Komsomol plant, received a significant amount of funds through the program of technical re-equipment and modernization of production thanks to state support. New productions and facilities were introduced. This allows us to increase serial production and increase production volumes, - said Yury Slyusar, General Director of the United Aircraft Corporation. – We will continue to fulfill our obligations under the concluded contracts. Su-35 aircraft of the following batches are in production. In addition, this year the volume of deliveries of the fifth generation Su-57 fighters to the Russian Aerospace Forces will increase.”
From the side of bmpd, we point out that the number of Su-35S fighters transferred to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in this batch is not reported, and the side and registration numbers of the aircraft in the video and photo materials officially distributed by the UAC are retouched, although it can be recognized that the side numbers are blue.
This is the first batch of Su-35S fighters handed over by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant. Yu.A. Gagarin (KnAAZ) in 2023. In the previous 2022, the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yu.A. Gagarin gave the Russian Aerospace Forces seven Su-35S fighters - three in September and four in December.
Presumably, the Su-35S fighters now transferred were manufactured as part of the fourth contract concluded by the UAC in 2021 for the supply of Su-35S aircraft to the Russian Ministry of Defense. It is possible that this contract includes 24 aircraft for delivery by 2024. Presumably, the first four fighters under this contract were handed over to the Aerospace Forces in December 2022 and, apparently, had blue tail numbers "04", "05", "06" and "07".
Prior to that, under three previous contracts in 2009, 2015 and 2020, the Russian Aerospace Forces received 104 serial Su-35S aircraft from 2012 to 2022, and taking into account the four aircraft delivered under the new contract in December 2022, by the beginning of 2023, the Aerospace Forces received 108 serial Su-35S.
