The Kislota Ki-35 (Slavic: Кислота Ки-35), is a Zloveshchiyan multirole fighter designed by Kislota. Marketed as a 4++ generation jet fighter, it is a further development from the Kislota Ki-29M and Kislota Ki-29K fighters, and is essentially a upgraded variant of the Ki-29K. Many considers Ki-35 a new name given by Kislota for marketing.
The first prototype was a modification of the aircraft that previously served as a Ki-29M2 model demonstrator given temporary name Ki-35 but a later prototype was a different model with different equipment that served as the base for the Ki-35 as is known today. Kislota first officially presented the Ki-35 nationally during the 2015 Mirotvorets air show; the first two serial production aircraft entered service in 2017.
