How Fast Can Russia’s Sukhoi Su-35 Fighter Fly?

Russia’s Su-35 “Super Flanker” is one of the fastest fighter jets in the world, capable of reaching speeds of Mach 2.25.
The Su-35 may be serving as the Russian Air Force’s workhorse in the Ukraine invasion, but the platform has certainly not been invincible against Kyiv’s slew of Western-delivered weapons.
Key point: The Su-35 is a very capable aircraft–and it can take on America’s best. Russia’s Su-35 fighter certainly has western defense outlets buzzing–and for good reason.
New and well-armed Su-35s won't replace the capabilities of Iran's degraded air defenses. The Su-35 is a jolt for Iran's airpower, especially if it comes with a beyond-visual-range missile.
A Russian Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jet purportedly "disappeared from the radars" near Mariupol on Friday, just after Ukraine claimed to have taken out 13 Russian aircraft in just under two weeks.
United Aircraft Corporation—Sukhoi’s parent company—has also secured a contract with Indonesia to deliver 11 Su-35 fighters for $1.4 billion with deliveries expected to start this October.
The Su-35 tops out at Mach 2.5 with a range of 1,900 miles, compared to F-35's 1200 mph and 1,380 mile range.
