Guys from KNAAZ and SibNIIA tould that it can supercruise with normal load (4 x R-77 under the belly and 2 x R-73 on the wingtips), however this haven't been confirmed yet by official Sukhoi sources.

I am guessing Su-35 should equal or better the Eurocanards. It carries the same engine that PAKFA is using, more or less. So, supercruise may be an inbuilt funcitonality.

I heard that it touched Mach 1.2 and was still accelerating.

The first full-scale production Su-35S has arrived to Dzemgi AB (Komsomolsk on Amur, Eastern MD):


It is notable that KnAAZ is located on the same AB using it as its flight test station :p
So, this Su-35 has been rolled out of the factory gates just to another AB corner, where the line military unit lives :p
