Russia's Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets deal isn't a silver bullet for Iran's battered air defenses
Briefly

Despite potential deliveries of Su-35 fighter jets from Russia, analysts doubt that these aircraft will significantly enhance Iran's air defenses, which have recently suffered damage from Israeli attacks. While the Su-35 represents an upgrade for Iran's fleet, experts believe it won't adequately counter the threats posed by adversaries like Israel. The exact number of planes ordered remains unspecified, but experts characterize the acquisition as important yet insufficient compared to the existing military landscape.
New and well-armed Su-35s won't replace the capabilities of Iran's degraded air defenses.
But it doesn't do much to fill the gaps that Iran will have against adversaries such as Israel.
