Su-30, Su-33, Su-34 and Su-35 News thread, pictures and discussion

According to the website of the German aviation magazine "Flug Revue" from today, the journalist Babak Taghvaee reports, that the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) received its first two Sukhoi Su-35SE at a private ceremony at the Komsomolsk Amur Aircraft Plant (KnAAPO) on November 18th, 2024. The multi-role fighter jets were disassembled and then flown to Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, the capital of Iran, on an Antonov An-124-100 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces. From there, the aircraft will be taken to the 3rd Tactical Air Force Base near the city of Hamadan to be reassembled. Originally, the IRIAF only wanted to replace the Grumman F-14A Tomcat in Isfahan with the Sukhois, but the order for the Su-35SE was increased from 25 to 50 aircraft. This will also allow the air force to retire some of its ageing F-4E Phantom IIs, which are currently in service with the 31st Tactical Fighter Wing in Hamadan.

I haven't found another or more sources to confirm this news.
IMHO and unfortunately this news report is not acceptable at this moment. :confused: :(
Edit:
Our German member and moderator @Deino just confirmed on a German aviation forum, that this news is highly dubious. A rumour was falsely presented as a fact.
