Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) has released a list of Russian enterprises involved in producing the Su-35S fighter jet, many of which are not yet under sanctions. The aircraft is primarily used by Russia to cover Su-34 strike groups, intercept Ukrainian drones and cruise missiles, and counter Ukrainian air defense systems. HUR identified 22 companies from the list that remain unsanctioned, including suppliers of braking wheels, fuel system components, and research institutes. The Su-35S is a heavily modernized Su-27 variant with thrust-vectoring engines, a top speed of 2500 km/h, and an Irbis radar capable of tracking 30 targets simultaneously while firing long-range R-37M missiles.
