The first prototype was publicly displayed in 1992 at the Farnborough Airshow. Sukhoi changed its designation for the fighter from Su-27M to Su-35 in 1993. Ten prototypes Su-35s were built with four being converted Su-27s and the others being new-builds. Three production Su-27Ms were completed in 1996 and delivered to Russian Air Force (VVS) that year for testing. Five Su-35s have been used by the Russian Knights display team. In total 15 flight capable Su-35 (Su-27M) aircraft were produced, including a Su-35UB two-seat prototype. Two of these Su-35s were modified into Su-37s in the mid to late 1990s. The Su-35 has been nicknamed “Super Flanker.
