Ethiopia Accelerates Su-35 Delivery, Eyes S-400 Air Defenses Amid Regional Conflict

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced the receipt of 12 Russian Su-35 fighter jets, delivered a year ahead of schedule, alongside a deal for four S-400 air defense batteries. The acquisition, announced at the Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, aims to bolster Ethiopia’s military capabilities amid renewed conflicts in Tigray and Amhara. While the jets enhance air power, concerns remain regarding long-term maintenance support and the potential impact of Western sanctions on the deal.

"Unanswered Questions: Alleged Friendly Fire Incident Involving Russian Fighter Jet"

A video circulating on Telegram appears to show the wreckage of a Russian Su-35 fighter jet burning in a field near Mariupol, with reports suggesting it was shot down by friendly fire over Donetsk. The pilot successfully ejected and was in contact with controllers. This incident follows another case last week where a Russian S-300 air defense system downed one of its own aircraft. Russian military bloggers criticized the incidents as examples of military incompetence, with concerns raised about communication between Russian planes and air defenses. This is believed to be the fifth time a Russian military plane has been shot down by friendly fire during the war in Ukraine.

Iran Acquires Russian Jets, But Not the Desired Su-35 Flanker

Iran has reportedly received subsonic Yak-130 trainer jets from Russia, although these are not the Su-35 Flanker fighter jets they had hoped for. The delivery of the Yak-130s may indicate that Russia will eventually deliver the Su-35s in the future. Iran had expressed optimism about receiving the Su-35s earlier this year, but reports suggest that Russia has not fulfilled its end of the deal. The Yak-130 delivery suggests that Russia is at least delivering something to Iran after the military equipment Tehran has supplied Moscow. The Yak-130 trainers may serve as a stepping stone before acquiring fourth-generation fighters like the Su-35.

Russian and US jets engage in tense encounter over Baltic Sea.

A Russian Su-35 fighter jet was scrambled to intercept two US B-52H strategic bombers flying over the Baltic Sea towards the Russian border. The fighter jet returned to base after the US planes moved away from Russian territory. This follows last week's diplomatic furore after a US surveillance drone was intercepted by two Russian Su-27 fighter jets. Russia has accused the US of collecting intelligence through surveillance flights that was then given to Ukraine to attack Russian targets.

Russian Su-35 Fighter Scrambles to Intercept US Bombers Near Baltic Border

A Russian Su-35 fighter jet was scrambled over the Baltic Sea on Monday after two US B52H strategic bombers flew towards the Russian border, but returned to base after the US planes moved away. The incident follows the first known direct military encounter between Russia and the US since Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year, when a US drone was intercepted by Russian jets and crashed into the Black Sea. The Russian defence ministry said the Su-35's flight was strictly in line with international rules of the use of airspace and no violation of the state border of the Russian Federation was permitted.
