There are reports that they have received 4 more yaks but no evidence of this claim...and the same reports indicate no SU35 untill March 21 ..so only 2 YAKs confirmed on the tarmac..

Unless one has powerful SEAD capabilities, there is not really any logic in investing in the airforce in the present day. Building robust air-denial capabilities should be the focus. Current war in Ukraine has exposed many myths about air force.

I heard that Iran was going ahead with a plan to induct. 24 Su-35 from Russia. Any news on that?

Nothing new to report.

As you already know, the SU-35s were initially manufactured for the Egyptian Air Force. If Russia were to transfer them to Iran, they would need a reasonable amount of time to customize and rebrand the planes. Additionally, Iranian pilots would require rigorous training to learn how to operate the Su-35s. This would lead to further delays in the delivery schedule.
