Sukhoi Su-35 (Flanker-E) supermaneuverable multirole fighters have been relocated from the Khabarovsk Territory to the Primorsky Territory to take part in the tactical flight training, involving fighter jets and assault aviation, Russia's Ministry of Defense said.
The aircraft strengthened the air power of Su-27s and MiG-31s providing fighter cover to troops and ground facilities from "enemy" aircraft. Multifunctional Su-35 fighters equipped with medium-range missiles are used to gain air superiority by eliminating manned and unmanned flying vehicles.
