What does it take to get Russia out of the Security Council?

Dissolve the UN?
The UN was designed to preserve the status of the major Allied powers after WW2.

Russia’s military aircraft exports are headed for a nosedive
The military reputation of the Russian Aerospace Forces has been badly tarnished — and that is rubbing off on the aircraft.

Are the operational failure rates of the Su-35 mentioned above similar to Allied combat jets or they way above, say, what F-16 or Eurofighter units would have?

"Operational failure rates." You have to define that better. Crashes? Aborts? Incidents that involve damage to aircraft? In the west it's very defined. In the US we break it down by "mishaps."
This was from a USN site but I'm sure it's similar to the USAF
Now with that defined, I doubt, based on sorties flown per capita in a non combat environment (which we will probably never have access to) and we've seen so far, the SU-35 has a safety record not comparable to the west. It's evident by the poor showing of the Russian AF, they are having issues with maintenance, sustainment and operations. The Russians aren't the only ones crashing Su-35s

Well, I didn't know how to ask it but you did answer my question. I just wanted to be sure before I laughed my ass off at the Russian aerospace industry."Operational failure rates."

Looks like they built a little over 100. Egypt flies them too. I haven't heard much about the Su-35 being operated there

Egypt has drop the deal after comparable tests with Rafale. There are indications that ex Egyptian machines have been used by RU to cover drone deal with Iran.

The report says "The Russian Investigative Committee - seen as similar to the FBI in Russia - is conducting a probe into the Saturday blast, say reports."
I know what their answer will be "Its the Azov team again".

I'd also read about Egypt deciding against the -35s due to threatened American third-party sanctions. Not sure how true that is.

Actually, they're conducting a criminal investigation into the breaking of flight regulations. Apparently the aircraft was on a test flight. I wonder if the crew went outside their briefed test plan?

They certainly conducted an unauthorized landing.

Rather like the old joke about why Jaguars had two engines. It was so that, if one engine failed, the other could keep the Jag flying to the scene of the crash.
