the sukhoi su-35 (russian: сухой су-35; nato reporting name: flanker-e) is the designation for two improved derivatives of the su-27 air-defence fighter. they are single-seat, twin-engine, supermaneuverable aircraft, designed by the sukhoi design bureau and built by the komsomolsk-on-amur aircraft plant. the type was originally developed by the soviet union from the su-27 and was known as the su-27m. it incorporated canards and a multi-function radar giving it multi-role capabilities. the first prototype made its maiden flight in june 1988. following the dissolution of the soviet union sukhoi re-designated it as the su-35 to attract export orders. fourteen aircraft were produced and used for tests and demonstrations; one example had thrust-vectoring engines and was in turn redesignated the su-37. a sole su-35ub two-seat trainer was also built in the late 1990s that resembled the su-30mk family.
