Rosoboronexport wants to deliver Su-35 fighters and Pantsir air defense systems to Brazil outside the framework of a tender, RIA Novosti reports. It was stated by the head of the company’s delegation at SITDEF exhibition held in Lima, Sergey Ladigin.

Russian Su-35 fighter was struck off the shortlist of the Brazilian tender in 2009. The remaining participants are Gripen (Sweden), F-16 (USA) and Rafale (France).

"Despite the fact that Russia lost the tender, we have made an offer to the Brazilian party regarding deliveries of Su-35 fighters and Pantsir air defense systems outside the framework of the tender. Our offer is being considered", — Ladigin said.

He also noted that Russia is ready to transfer all the manufacturing technologies related to Su-35. "We are ready to transfer 100% of manufacturing technologies related to Su-35 fighter and some technologies used during development of the fifth-generation fighter", — the source noted.
