Aircraft Caverns (Flugzeugkaverne) - Underground Hangars

Not much chance they can fit Su-35 here. Phantoms barely fit in the entrance door and it's a feat of prowess from their pilots that the one we see entering the entrance tunnel can go so fast on his own power. I would rather think that, in reality, aircraft are towed in instead and what we are given to see is a stunt.
The wingspan of the Su-35 is 15.3 metres, while that of the F-4E is 11.7 metres, so it could be calculated whether the Flanker-E could fit into the sheds.
Ironically, the new mig-35 could be a much better fit.

Danish Air Force started to reuse Bardufoss mountain air station for F-35, after being deactivated for 40 years
Bardufoss is in Northern Norway.
From the link in the tweet:
BARDUFOSS, Norway - The Royal Norwegian Air Force continues to further develop national operational concepts increasing combat aircraft survivability as in mid-June, F-35 fighter aircraft landed at Bardufoss Air Station taking back hangars and facilities inside the mountain that had been deactivated for 40 years.
