Ethiopia announced the delivery of 12 Russian Su-35 fighter jets, with 4 S-400 air defense batteries. However, Russia has so far confirmed the delivery of only 2 fighter jets. Apparently, Ethiopia watched the spectacular performance of Russian aircraft and air defenses in Ukraine and decided it wanted some of that excitement for itself.
