I am sorry but you realy dont know what you talk about. I will only say that now,in few hours I will explain why,when get home on PC. Also when it comes to info from Egypt about Rafael ECCM pod been able to outjam SU 35,it is same lavel of BS like "Iranian drones are shit,Russians are not happy",if that realy happen,we would never know,they would keep it as top secret. And there are 20 other reason why it is clear it is BS,it is classic PR,to spread bad marketing,also Egypt was threatened with sanctions even before they evaluate SU 35,and they probably look for reason to cancel. But such information are simple not shared at that way,also when you evaluate fighter jet or even after you buy it,there is always clausule about not turning on radar during drils with advesaries of seler. I remember India did not activate radar at all during joint drils with western partners,for long time on SU 30,I am not sure do they do it now..maybe,but for long time it was part of the deal not do it. And if Egypt discovered such game changer information,we would never know it. SU 35 is most importan aircraft with MIG 31 in RUAF,literary best their aircraft for now,SU 57 is produced in low numbers,and there is no reason to belive it will be produced in some big numbers in short time,so SU 35 is RUAF strategic asset. If Egypt discovered weakness they will kept it guarded,why publish it and give Russia time to fix it. IRBIS E is strictly looking hybrid electronically scaned array ,with hybrid "tilters" ,and it outperform even many AESA,and I am not talking about its huge range,I am talking about LPI,jamming restitance,wide range of channels,low noise...etc and again it outperform many AESA ,it is unique HybridESA.
It use new unique transmitter,new programmable signal and information processor capable of over 95 Million operations per second, with digital signal processing using multiple processors,it literary has AESA level noise...It has 2 x time bandwith of previos generation in SU 30....US latest gen AESA are really impresive,but this is excellent fighter jet for Air Defense,and It will not operate from carrier 5000km from Iran,it should be looked from Iran perspective,and If it meets IRIAF requirements for assigned tasks,that is it. New air frames will serve for long time,Iran can later upgrade it with own tech if something pop up,but for now this is in reality only option for Iran,because Iran need 4++ gen aircraft in IRIAF till domestic fighter jet is produced,not only for defense purpose,but also for study,train,to check own strategies,tactics,weapons vs new gen fighter jets...IRIAF is huge,it is 7 or 8 largest airforce on planet,with complete support infrastucture to maintain everything on its own,and to support other airforces...school,higher level education,certification,research...I read somewhere 9 countries send their personel to study in IRIAF,so IRIAF must keep up with new technologies,it cant wait more15 years for 4++ gen air superiority jet. I would love to see best fighter jet in universe fly in Iriaf,but it need to survive and maintain some level of quality till that time came.
It is clear that you do not understand many things in Egypt since the start of receiving Russian weapons, many of which were refused full receipt of it before its development, for example, the S-300V, Egypt rejected its final receipt before the development of the form acceptable to Egypt, because simply we have been using Western technologies for 44 years
The same thing was the T-90MS tank, Egypt’s requests were radical, including everything, the engine, protection, the firepower, the ammunition, which should be in line with the capacity of Western munitions, and even the development of the AT-11 significantly, which disrupted the deal and made the Russians offer the T-14 directly to Egypt
Egypt received 52 MIG-29M/M2 planes. Egypt faced two plane crashes with Russian manufacturing errors, as well as in the implementation of complex maneuvers and combat tactics, as well as modifications to the armament. Consequently, Egypt demanded that Russia compensate the two planes that Egypt lost after sending Russian technicians and specialists, which simply means Egypt buys weapons to get more protection. It was meant for him to work within an integrated system because he would face the best fighters that America has in Israel, for example, so the shortcomings of the SU-35 are real, and his declaration is a kind of intense pressure on the Russians to develop planes to an acceptable level. The planes are not cheap. 30 planes worth 3 billion dollars, including ammunition, and the Russians care about the Egyptian customer Because the size of the successive Egyptian deals with the Russians makes them behind India and China in the size of the deals
The Russians are also not angels, so we suffer from them in commercial deals in the field of fraud and deception
When the defects of the Su-35 were leaked, the Russians were trying to please Egypt, as Egypt was providing the Russians a good service in developing their armament.
To illustrate another example of the Egyptian KA-52 plane, when it requested modifications, the Russians discovered that the modifications they requested were very needed in the Syrian theater of operations to increase the capabilities of the plane, and after Egypt used the plane for several years, there are negotiations on other developments, part of which are for the KA-52M level.
Egypt does not manufacture planes. For Egypt, every plane represents a great value for the Egyptian Air Force, and there is a difficulty in replacing it besides the high operating costs. Therefore, Egypt has to make the specifications of the planes the highest level due to the limited numbers of fighters obtained and their high cost.
The Russians focus on the fact that Egypt is a country that buys planes gradually and continuously, and not one deal, but an initial deal followed by subsequent deals, and Western pressure is not on the first deal for SU-35 fighters, but rather, so that Egypt does not buy the second batch of them.
Egypt benefits from a series of international maneuvers that it conducts annually in studying different air tactics and various international aircraft that come to Egypt in annual maneuvers with more than 10 different air weapons, starting from India to the United States throughout Asia, Europe and America, so when Egypt requests something in modifications or specifications Egypt respects and also always turns tactical planes to carry out strategic missions.
Iran is not at all in the field to choose, whether fighters or specifications are subject to international sanctions. Therefore, which aircraft it obtains is better than the current situation, and the matter does not need to justify because there is nothing available to Iran from high-performance and high-quality fighters globally. Therefore, what the Russians offer to Iran is accepted because there is no other, this is the truth
