Iran made a deal last year to secure Russian Su-35s, which share similarities to the U.S.-made F-16.
Iran reportedly made a deal last winter to acquire a number of Russian Su-35 Flanker-E fighter jets, which are frequently compared to American F-16 Fighting Falcons.Over the weekend, rumors circulated that Tehran was expecting an imminent delivery of Su-35s based on a report from SNN, an Iranian state news agency with ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps . Iranian officials publicly disputed the report, and SNN later disowned its own story on Telegram.
Guy McCardle, the managing editor of Special Operations Forces Report , told Newsweek that the F-16 is 'powered by a single jet engine,' whereas 'the Su-35 has two jet engines, offering more thrust and redundancy if one stops working.''The American jet's frame is lighter' than the Russian jet's, according to McCardle, but the Su-35 'possesses greater firepower and survivability than the F-16.
