Watch: Can Russia restore the reputation of its once-feared Su-35S?

Russia has supposedly made enhancements to its once-feared Sukhoi Su-35S jet fighter that is being used in combat against Ukraine.

The single-seat, twin-engined, super-manoeuvrable Russian air superiority aircraft can reach speeds of 2,778km/h, and has a range of around 3,200km (2,000 miles).

However, it is claimed that the aircraft, which has the Nato codename Flanker E, has been modified by its manufacturer after five of them were destroyed in Ukraine.
