To put it simply, the SU-35 pretty much autowins with current equipment because Interceptor development has stalled and the Mig-31 is running obsolete technology. Give the Mig-31 an interceptor loadout and the SU-35 a fighter loadout of equivalent tech though, and the Mig-31 fires missiles then runs away, and it's unlikely the SU-35 can do much
Unlike the R-33 and R-33S missiles, which were dedicated to the MiG-31 interceptor and not used by any other aircraft, the new R-37M is a ‘universal’ missile, also integrated with Su-30SM, Su
The MiG-31BM aircraft — which are upgraded versions of the Cold War-era MiG-31 Foxhound — are from the Northern Fleet’s 98th Composite Aviation Regiment, home-based at Monchegorsk, located
A Russian Su-35. (Wikipedia) The Su-35 is designed for dogfights with more external firepower compared to the American F-22 whose weapons are held internally. The Sukhoi jet has 12 hardpoints for carrying external weapons and stores. Four on each wing; two on the underside of the fuselage and one under each engine.
As well as the MiG-31BM that is its primary launch platform, the 13-foot-long R-37M has long been associated with the Su-35, but it seems it was first launched from a Flanker variant this year.
The Su-35 has 1 confirmed loss from friendly air defenses, it can perform the same actions as the MiG-31 such as carrying the R-37 with a similar powered radar but more modern overall. The majority of flanker loses are ground attack variants like the Su-34 and Su-30 that have to operate in manpad infested airspaces.
If the MiG-31's radar has 50% more range than the Su-35's, and can see a 3 m 2 target at 600 km, then the F-35 would be detectable at 156 to 210 km, or 97 to 130 miles. Feel free to run the numbers if you can find other RCS or radar values. Keep in mind that this is just one aspect of air combat.
