Killer in the Sky: Russia’s Deadly Su-35 Fighter

The Sukhoi Su-35S Flanker-E is the most potent fighter currently in operation with the Russian Air Force. The powerful twin-engine fighter, which is an advanced derivative of the original Soviet-era Su-27, is high flying, fast and carries an enormous payload. That, combined with its advanced suite of avionics, makes the Su-35 an extremely dangerous foe to any U.S. fighter, with the exception of the stealthy Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. That is one of the reasons the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force is keen to acquire the new jet.....

Doesn't make a big difference. There is only about 50 of them in a russian air force.

More to come, that is to fly. There are only 187 F-22 Raptors at the moment, while their mass production has been run since 1997. The production of the Sukhoi Su-35 started only in 2007, that is ten years later. And don't forget that F-22 is the most expensive fighter aircraft in the world (150$ million per unit against 40$ million for one Su-35).
