The F-35 has an Low Observable shape with limitations on the aft sector because of an unstealthy nozzle design,the shapes it self only has limited stealth cabilities.But Su-35 is not 5th generation aircraft(4++ generation),so it cannot hide from F-35. Radar

The F-35 uses an APG-81 AESA radar with 1200 transmit/receive moduls, it is able to track a 1m² target in 150 km. The much larger Flankers Irbis-E is able to track a 1m² at ranges of 260–300 km.So Su-35 have a great advantage over F-35.Su-35 can get a first look.
