The F-35 is indeed a strike aircraft. But it is derived as a multirole platform. Meaning it can fight in the air-to-air spectrum as well. And will do so with some new revolutionary capabilities. Some of which you find in the F-22.
The Su-35 is simply a rehash of an old 1980's aircraft with newer and more capable upgrades. But it is simply just a newer derivative of the same old Flanker. It is not revolutionary in any way. The F-15C with it's sensor and weapons upgrades provides Su-35 with plenty of headaches on it's own. Su-35 and the upgraded F-15C are comparable in terms of their ability to control airspace. F-35 on the other hand brings in elements and capabilities neither one of these aircraft are capable of. I doubt Su-35 will be much of a match for F-35 once both are in their element. I believe F-35 will best it in both BVR and WVR in total. Not just in terms of aircraft maneuverability, but in weapons, sensors, detectability, and countermeasures. F-35 is a much better package in each of these areas.
