Neat stalls and flat spins but honestly folks have been doing those sorts of things since the barnstormer days.
Still an impressive jet though. But there is an answer to all that fancy flying  |

I think the point SU are making is that the plane is under control at all times..it looks so rock steady.
In combat those moves are moot, but what it goes to show is that in WVR although it is a big plane it can move about the sky..... Still cool though..

Americas F-22 does the same maneuvers, and it is fielded. Not a one off like this thing is. Did i mention how much superior an F-22 is to this thing too in every facet or flight regime?
Yawn. -S

True but they were not doing it in a 76,000 pound, 53,000,000 dollar aircraft either.  They build them good at Sukhoi, eh Ivan? I would say that an SU-30mk with 6 Vympel's would be a serious threat as long as, and this is most important, the pilot and wizzo have enough training and experience. The best plane in the world won't do much if the pilot can only fly 10 hours per quarter.
