- sandworm101 11y agoF-22 performing Cobra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUdt6ZSWUsI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUdt6ZSWUsI But the cobra is not the definition of supermaneuverability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulbit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulbit Su-37 Kulbit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZg0jZfI6Cg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZg0jZfI6Cg F-22A Kulbit (@1:25) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrBx6G2O6A4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrBx6G2O6A4 America does the formation stuff very well, but the Russians are in different league in terms of single-aircraft demonstrations. See below @1:16 for some variations on the cobra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_wc04VQXCM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_wc04VQXCM
- digi_owl 11y agoThat the kind of move that makes a opposing pilot go "Oh Fuck!" right before getting a face full of ordnance. Interesting to note that the MiG-29 can apparently pull that one, even though it has no trust vectoring.
- AReallyGoodName 11y agoThe Mig-29 listed in that wiki is the MiG-29OVT. A thrust vectoring prototype.
- digi_owl 11y agoWell that explains quite a bit...
- ramgorur 11y agoon the other hand I always get dumbfounded when I see their antonovs, they are crazy big.
- PerfectDlite 11y agoAntonov's are Ukrainian planes.
- semi-extrinsic 11y agoThat F22A doing a Kulbit: I'm not sure that counts, he uses way too much time to get around as compared to the Su-37.
- sandworm101 11y agoIf I remember the story correctly, the F-22 was never meant to do the cobra/kulbit. But when they saw the russians doing it at shows they had to come up with something. Anyone interested in maneuverability or russian planes generally needs to see this: (the SU-47) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2MW8DoJJXg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2MW8DoJJXg
