On 28 June 2020, TASS, with reference to anonymous sources within the military-industrial complex, reported that a 'swarm' teaming experiment had been conducted with a group of Su-35s and an Su-57 acting as a command and control aircraft. During the experiment, information was exchanged between fighters in real time: the information control system of each aircraft automatically processed data from its own sensors and sensors of other aircraft, providing a comprehensive battlespace picture and significantly increasing the efficiency of combat missions. Reportedly, the experiment was conducted in "real combat conditions."
