Russia has received a new batch of Su-35S multirole fighters, marking the warplane’s first public delivery of 2026, KyivPost reports. Among other sources, the publication refers to a report by IPHR and NAKO, “PParts of the Problem: Tracing Western Tech in Russia’s Deadliest Jets.” KyivPost notes that the West has been unable to ensure effective sanctions enforcement, allowing foreign components to continue flowing into Russia. “While many of the components named are subject to export control, the paper asserts that Russia has been circumventing the sanctions by purchasing them through shell companies to conceal the ultimate destination,” the article states.
