and I was expecting you were informing us of the second delivery of 10 SU-35?? when O wise one?

Because that's how they roll.
Su-35 lacks the airbrake on its back.
The IRST is offset to the right on the Su-35, but centered on the 27.
Su-35 has in flight refueling probe on its left hand side, near the cockpit. Su-27 has no IFR probe.
Su-35 has a twin wheel front landing gear, while Su-27 has a single wheel.
Su-35 has no pitot tube on its radome, while Su-27 has one.
Su-35 has a shorter tail sting, closer to one on Su-33, than Su-27 does.
and so on...
