Tasnim News Agency reported on Tuesday that recently, footage has emerged on social media of what appears to be a Sukhoi-35 over the International Mehrabad Airport in western Tehran.
The video, however, turned out to be fake after its authenticity was examined, the report added.

There is speculation that a first batch of the aircraft may arrive in Iran soon.
