Then read the "Tweets" again. They explain in what way it does.
it increase the range of missile , it won't increase the range of detection . and incidentally su-35 can only benefit of it when it use its afterburner , something that reduce its range dramatically , on other hand an aircraft without supercruise capability don't have such problem
A compatible one can be developed locally.
yes but as it must interface with all critical component of airplane , it won't be cheap and it take time. and we must pay twice for it
assuming Russia will accept to deliver
assuming it's capable to deliver.
while at the same time proceeding to manufacture 100 to 120 Kosars
there is no money for both , only one and you can take your pick , don't forget the budget to increase the capabilities od all Iranian armed force branches, is about 4 milliard euro , you think how much is for air force?
Simorq AEW aircraft, Simorq aerial refueling planes, to develop and produce new AAM weapons and jammers, to keep up the R&D on engines, to start work on a future domestic heavy fighter, to continue churning out UAV's en masse and designing new ones, that would not amount to 'throwing away 40 years of hard work and achievements'.
only if you spend 6-7 milliard dollar on 4x squadron of su-35 there won't be any left for the rest
The source is knowledgeable. Patarames explained in those posts how the Su-35 would enhance Iran's defensive capabilities.
i don't doubt that , but he wrote that tweets based on another article and he also could not answer my concerns about the deal.
I trust Patarames won't be making amateurish mistakes about radars and detection. The user's credentials don't really stand to debate in the field of defense technology.
hi mistake L-Band with S-band . you can deny it , but the post is out there for anybody to see it
if it was s-band then there was no problem using it for engaging low rcs aircraft as many air defence system around the world use s-band radar
Russian Su-35s Could Soon Be Delivered To Iran, Pilots Trained Last Spring

they said the same about su-30
Stop arguing with @Hack-Hook, he rather our pilots continue to die trying to save F-4’s and F-5’s and F-7’s from crashing into the ground than add some modern fighters.
outdated that fall from sky in any conflict with what our neighbors have
Nodong missiles from NK in 80’s & 90’s = death of Iranian missile program.
those nodong was base of iran modern missile program. not something to compete with them
Any argument over lack of customization is laughable considering the things Russia did for Chinese flankers in early 2000’s (very well documented) as well what China did to their own flankers afterward as modernization effort.
consider that india since 2006 is waiting for AESA radar for Su-30 , where is that radar ?
and remember the lack of it made india had to keep the aircraft 100km away from any conflict area.
by the way its how many years we are waiting for SM2 upgrade for our mig-29 (its an old Upgrade and not even the latest upgrade)
When China wanted to breach Taiwan airspace this year guess what they used? Flankers.
8 x J-16 and one y-8
well buy those su-35 with standards like J-16 and I'm not that much against it but still believe developing kowsar program is the way to go.
