Analyses conducted by military experts have revealed a comparison between the Russian-made Su-35S fighter jet and the French-made Dassault Rafale fighter jet. This comparison aims to assess the technical characteristics and combat capabilities of both aircraft, determining their superiority in aerial combat. The analyses indicate that both aircraft possess various advantages, but they have concluded that the Russian-made Su-35S is superior in certain parameters.
Redaksiya reports that an article published in "The National Interest" compared the Russian-made Su-35S fighter jet with the French-made Dassault Rafale fighter jet. American analysts have concluded that Russian military hardware is superior to its French counterpart. This conclusion is based on the fact that the Russian-made "4++" generation fighter jet has a higher target detection range. Experts noted that while the Dassault Rafale is a multi-role fighter jet, its success is not possible without the support of ground-based radars. The creators of the Su-35S, on the other hand, have prioritized flight characteristics, turning the fighter jet into an effective platform for ensuring air superiority.
According to the source, the Su-35S is equipped with powerful engines with variable thrust vectoring, a wide-ranging radar, and long-range missiles. Its aerodynamic characteristics are excellent, and its fuel consumption and payload are high. Analysts also emphasized that despite the advantages of the Russian-made Su-35S, the final outcome of a military engagement will depend on the pilot's skill. This indicates that the aircraft's technical advantages, combined with the pilot's experience and combat tactics, will play a decisive role on the battlefield.
