whoa....
Pretty crazy.

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

GoldenRivet · 02-20-09, 01:37 PM

not all that effective in combat.

seems like you would be able to see that pink smoke from miles away

You beat me to it

Pity it doesn't have the sophisticated weaponry to back it up.

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.

I hope you know :
F-22 is a 5th Gen
Su-30 is a 4th Gen

not really comparable.

True. It is not apples to apples.

So, since we are talking about a one off aircraft, a better comparison is the X-31. It is 3rd generation and will do all this nifty stuff.

It's also a test aircraft, and can't do anything other than use thrust vectoring

And that is relevant how? Adding a weapons system is a simple affair. The aircraft the body was taken from already have one available.

Ha! I raise you

and its nemesis

Times there wherent any silly electronics.
Pilots flew them without the fancy gadgets to keep the plane in control

Where does the F-35 factor in on this list, since we are on the subject of aircraft???
