“The Sukhoi-35 fighter jets are technologically acceptable to Iran and our country has completed a contract to purchase them,” the Islamic Republic of Iran Radio reported.
Tehran has reached an agreement to buy technologically advanced Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets from Moscow, as reported Saturday by state media in the Iranian capital, expanding bilateral defense cooperation, following the use of Iranian drones in Russia’s war in Ukraine.
“The Sukhoi-35 fighter jets are technologically acceptable to Iran and our country has completed a contract for their purchase,” the Islamic Republic of Iran Radio (IRIB) reported citing Iran’s diplomatic mission to the UN.
The report did not have any evidence of Russian confirmation of the deal for the fourth-generation fighters, while its details were not disclosed.
Iran’s diplomatic mission to the UN also said Iran had considered buying fighter jets from several other countries, without naming them, as reported by IRIB.

Over the past year, U.S., NATO and other Western officials have seen numerous instances of Russian forces getting their hands on smaller, shoulder-mounted weapons, including Javelin anti-tank and Stinger anti-aircraft systems, which Ukrainian forces have in some cases were forced to abandon them on the battlefield, the sources told CNN.
