Interestingly, Pakistan also has a 'fifth-generation' fighter project under development referred to as 'Project Azm'.
On Saturday, Joshi tweeted that on February 27, 2019, two Su-30MKI fighters of the Indian Air Force faced off against eight F-16 fighters of the Pakistan Air Force as they approached Jammu and Kashmir. "Evidence shows that PAF launched 4+ AMRAAMs against the Sukhois during this engagement.
The Su-35 is at least equal—if not superior—to the very best Western fourth-generation fighters. The big question, is how well can it perform against a fifth-generation stealth plane such as the F-22 or F-35? The maneuverability of the Su-35 makes it an unsurpassed dogfighter.

Unlike the fifth-generation F-35 fighter, the Su-35 is a real 4 ++ generation fighter; and the only thing that puts it in the fourth generation is its lack of stealth technology. However, the Su-35's speed, maneuverability, combined with the capabilities of the pilot flying it can compensate for the lack of time.
The only visible external difference between the two is the tails on the -35 are taller, and you'd need to see a -27 parked next to a -35 to say which is which. In the West this plane would be called something like “"Su-27C” not Su-35.
The advanced Su-35 Flanker-E, costs around $85 million per unit. In August 2020, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced plans to buy 21 4++ generation Su-30SM2 jets and 25 YAK-130 advanced jet trainers for RUB 100 billion or $1.33 billion.
