Aircraft & UAVsSu-35Single-seat multirole fighterSide: Russia / Syrian government and alliesBuilt: United Aircraft Corporation (Sukhoi) / RussiaThe Su-35 is a Russian single-seat, twin-engine multirole fighter developed as a deep modernization of the Su-27 family. UAC presents it as a 4++ generation aircraft with thrust-vectoring 117S engines, long-range sensors, and an 8,000 kg combat load; in the Russia-Ukraine War, Su-35S aircraft have been documented in Russian service for air-to-air missions near the front and anti-radiation missile employment against Ukrainian air defenses.

Aircraft & UAVsSu-27Twin-engine air-superiority fighterSide: Ukraine / Ethiopian government and alliesBuilt: Sukhoi / Soviet Union / RussiaThe Su-27, NATO reporting name Flanker, is a Soviet-designed twin-engine air-superiority fighter built around long range, high speed, and heavy air-to-air armament. Ukraine inherited the type after the Soviet collapse and has kept upgraded aircraft in combat during the Russia-Ukraine War, where Su-27s have been documented flying strike missions and carrying Western-supplied AGM-88 HARM missiles despite their Soviet avionics baseline.

Electronic WarfareEA-18G GrowlerCarrier-capable airborne electronic attack aircraftSide: U.S.-led coalition and partner forces / United States-led coalition / United StatesBuilt: Boeing / United StatesThe EA-18G Growler is a Boeing-built electronic attack derivative of the two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet, fielded to jam, detect, and attack hostile radars, communications, and air-defense networks while retaining missile carriage for suppression missions. U.S. Navy and Australian Growlers provide carrier or land-based electronic warfare support, with recent documented use in Operation Inherent Resolve, Red Sea operations against Houthi forces, and the U.S.-Iran strike context.

MunitionsALARM anti-radiation missileAir-launched anti-radiation missileSide: Yemeni government and coalition forcesBuilt: BAe Dynamics; MBDA UK / United KingdomALARM is a British air-launched anti-radiation missile built for suppression of enemy air defenses, using pre-planned navigation and passive radar homing with direct and parachute-loiter attack modes. In the Yemen Civil War record, it appears as a UK-supplied Royal Saudi Air Force munition used during Saudi-led coalition air operations rather than as a fully documented radar-kill case.
