The Sukhoi Su-35 has recently been upgraded with new engines, a stronger airframe, and the latest avionics. The new aircraft do not have the canards of their predecessors. Prototype aircraft began testing in early 2008.

The newest aircraft also differ from their predecessors by having more powerful, more efficient engines. A quadruple redundancy digital fly by wire system that the pilot controls by using a side stick gives the pilot greater control of the aircraft.

Enhanced avionics of the new Sukhoi Su-35 include a radar system that has the ability to track up to 24 targets simultaneously, a head up display, and digital displays on a series of cockpit monitors. A terrain following radar mode gives the pilot the ability to fly ground hugging missions below radar detection levels.

The fuel capacity of the aircraft has been increased, both internally and externally, over its predecessor. In addition it is fitted with an in-flight refueling system.  Although not a true stealth aircraft, the Su-35 incorporates technology to produce a smaller radar signature and lower IR emissions than similar size fighter aircraft.

In August of 2009 Sukhoi received and order from the Russian government for a total of 48 Sukhoi Su-35 aircraft.  The first aircraft of the new order is expected to roll off of the assembly line in early 2010.  Completion of production of the entire order is anticipated by the end of 2014.
