United Aircraft Corporation, the parent company of Russia’s main aircraft manufacturers, revealed that it has delivered another batch of Su-35S and Su-57 fighters to the country’s air force.
The statement was released on September 12 and does not specify how many planes were delivered.
The Sukhoi Su-57 is the country’s most advanced fighter and has stealth capabilities. The Russian government has an order for 76 aircraft, but it is not known how many have been delivered.

The last time UAC announced a delivery was in December 2023, so almost nine months ago.
In both cases, only one fighter had images released, which could mean that the batch is limited to one aircraft.
“The number of fifth-generation fighters entering the Russian Air Force is increasing every year. To date, the fifth-generation Su-57 is Russia’s most modern front-line aircraft,” said UAC Director General Yuri Slyusar, without giving any figures.
The Komsomolsk-on-Amur facility in the east of the country is being modernized and expanded to speed up the production of Sukhoi fighters.
The Su-34 attack aircraft is also produced there.
