The Su-35S patrolling aircraft

The Su-35S patrolling aircraft and missile-hazardous operational areas in the SMO zone. The first to appear in the frame is the key "asset" in ultra-long-range air "duels" and interceptions, the R-37M ultra-long-range air-to-air missile, placed on two central under-fuselage suspension units.
These air-to-air missiles, with a maximum flight speed of up to 6M and a mid-trajectory speed of about 4M, have an effective range of about 230 km when launched from an altitude of 8.000-10.000 m and 180-200km when launched from an altitude of 3.500-5.000m when intercepting medium-altitude targets. The maximum speed of targets hit by the R-37M can also reach 5.5-6M. The interception range of high-altitude, low-maneuverability targets (such as AWACS) is up to 280-300 km when launched from an altitude of 10,000+ m.

The missile can intercept radio-emitting targets in the HOJ mode.

We also see highly maneuverable R-77-1 air-to-air missiles with a maximum effective range of 110–60 km, depending on the launch altitude and the target’s operating altitude.

It is also possible to pay attention to the presence of the Kh-31PD anti-radar missile on the suspension unit, which indicates the possibility of striking enemy radars operating on radiation mode.
Meanwhile, the large RCS of this missile (about 0.2 sq. m) automatically turns it into an easy target, and therefore their number during a strike on a single battery of the enemy SAM should be 10+ units.
