The Su-35S Flanker-E, also known as the Su-35 Flanker-E, is a fighter aircraft featuring improvements over the Su-27 Flanker-B. It made its first Ace Combat appearance in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, replacing the Su-35 Super Flanker from previous games.

History

Strangereal

Su-35Ss were operated in the Lighthouse War by the Erusean Air Force, the Su-35S wasn't often seen until the later part of the war. During Operation Werewolf, a flight of Su-35s, were deployed late in the battle to reinforce the failing defenses of the base, however they were all shot down by Trigger and the rest of Strider Squadron. Later, during Operation Gorgon, Su-35S ace Lieutenant Colonel Emeric Pons, callsign "Axeman", was engaged by Trigger and shot down over Anchorhead. Su-35s with a UCAV configuration were deployed during Operation Gorgon and Operation Daredevil.

Assault Horizon universe

The Su-35S was obtained and used by the New Russian Federation as one of its primary fighter. It was Andrei Markov's signature aircraft which featured a shark mouth nose design until William Bishop shot him down during air battle above Moscow. During the invasion of Miami and the attack of Washington, D.C., NRF used it as its mainstay fighter. In the attack on Washington D.C. several Russian Su-35 pilots were instructed by Markov to conduct suicide attacks on various targets such as USS Anzio and Charlie Wen in order to make room for him to launch the last Trinity warhead on the White House. However, their suicidal deaths were in vain when Bishop destroyed the last Trinity warhead, allowing it to detonate safely on Tidal Basin and ending the NRF for good.

Infinity universe

Wernher and Noah Enterprises reproduced the Su-35S with their Advanced Automated Aviation Plant and made it available for mercenaries to purchase around the world. During Operation Eternal Liberation, this fighter was preferred by a small number of United Nations Forces pilots.

Trivia

• The large numbers of enemy Su-35Ss appearing in Assault Horizon suggest that the aircraft has gone under mass production in the game's universe. In reality, it is still in limited use by the Russian Air Force.
• In the Assault Horizon mission "Pipeline", Andrei Markov is seen firing a Trinity missile with his Su-35S. However, the player cannot use Experimental Weapon 1 (the special weapon version of Trinity) with the Su-35S.
