The operational range of this fighter is 1,500 kilometers, which extends to 3,000 kilometers with additional fuel tanks. Furthermore, using aerial refueling, its range can be increased up to 5,200 kilometers (3,200 miles). With its onboard fuel reserves, the sukhoi 35 can remain airborne for approximately 4.5 hours. In cruise flight mode, its endurance extends to about 10 hours.

This fighter is also capable of conducting electronic warfare operations. The sukhoi 35 can carry advanced weapons up to a maximum load of 8 tons. Its armament includes a cannon, various bombs, air-to-air missiles, and supersonic anti-ship missiles. The supersonic missiles compatible with this fighter are called Onyx, which have a range between 120 to 300 kilometers.

The first units of the sukhoi 35 fighters were delivered to the Russian Ministry of Defense in 2012. This fighter matches the American F-15, F-16, and F-18 jets and fully meets the operational needs of the vast country of Iran. With possession of this aircraft, Iran gains a significant advantage in air combat.
