Looks like MAWS does it provide 360 degree coverage and what does it use IR or UV channel ?

Минобороны России подписало в декабре 2015 года с компанией «Сухой» пятилетний контракт на поставку 50 новейших истребителей Су-35. Сумма сделки превышает 60 миллиардов рублей, пишут в понедельник, 11 января, «Ведомости» со ссылкой на источники в Объединенной авиастроительной корпорации (ОАК), в которую входит «Сухой».

That is infrared spectrum 3-5 mkm for the MAWS 360° coverage with 4x 90° azimuth coverage sensors.

I think it means also 90° per MAW in elevation coverage which should give it in theory 360 azimuth and 360 elevation coverage.

Guys, do you think Su-35S will be deployed to Syria? Or it would be too exposed to enemy SIGINT?

If they are ordering 50 more now, does that mean that they sorted out the problems or are they still learning on the job?

They certified them for operational duty at the end of November so suspect most or the major bugs have been ironed out.

I'm curious to hear in what areas is the Su-35S still too raw in with it being finally put into combat service? Is the problem in the number of combat ready Su-35S fighters available then?

It shouldn't be that much of a problem for the operational Su-35S to do an easy task like escort the VKS bombers from Russia. I see that it doesn't make sense to deploy the Su-35S over the Su-30SM when the Su-30SM almost measures up in air superiority aspects but provides more flexibility if stationed in Syria. But the USAF sent a few F-22s to hit ground targets in Syria (USAF returned them quickly after Russia entered the fray) even though the F-22 wasn't even meant for that role when it was envisioned for the ATF competition. Eventually, it may be better for the Su-35S and their pilots to get some combat experience just like the F-22, especially when countries will exhaust all available diplomatic options before entering a war where air superiority is needed to be established.
