Russia Vs Israel: In 2024, numerous reports covered that Russia supplied Iran with one of the dangerous fighter jets in the world, the Su-35 fighter jets. However, the year-old speculation is again getting traction in 2025 as new reports are claiming that Iran is gearing up for a significant move against its biggest rival, Israel. It is being speculated that the Islamic Republic of Iran is planning to strengthen its Air Force by acquiring the advanced multirole Su-35 fighter jets from Russia. Here are all the details you should know about the fighter jet deal.
Notably, the fighter jet deal is making global headlines as a cryptic message on the Iranian Telegram channel ‘Defender Iran’ hinted at an upcoming surprise, stating, “Looks like we should wait for a surprise on March 19!
Readers should also note that if the Islamic Republic of Iran has indeed added the Russian SU-35 fighter jet to its fleet, it can take Iran’s air force capabilities to the next level. Moreover, its impact will be directly seen in its conflict with Israel.
Iran disputes reports of first delivery of Russian Su-35 fighter jets
Iranian officials denied media reports about the imminent delivery of new Russian Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets to Iran. Reports in the Iranian media that the country is to receive the latest generation of aircraft in the next few days are incorrect, the Fararu news website had said.
The media had referred to a report by the SNN news agency, which is close to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The agency itself denied the report on its Telegram page after consulting with the Ministry of Defence.
Iran’s Ministry of Defence announced last year that the country had acquired Mi-28H combat helicopters and Yak-130s from Russia in addition to the SU-35 fighter jets.
According to Fararu, however, the aircraft were not delivered due to protests from Iran’s arch-enemy Israel and some Arab states in the Persian Gulf. According to unofficial reports, the deal was supposed to involve a total of 24 new fighter jets.
Since the failure of the 2015 Vienna nuclear deal, which was intended to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, and the subsequent continuation of Western sanctions, Iran has intensified its relations with Moscow.
