Russian MiG-29 & Su-27 doing Cobra Maneuver

The Mighty Badass Russians

[1ScvReady]

Mongoose maneuver > Cobra maneuver

[kozmon0t]

the second cobra was excellent. The smoke is proof of a good cobra. There should be a straight line of smoke when it's done.

[RezViper]

was that the mig 29 OST? cuz i sure as HELL never seen a non TV aircraft cobra like that O_O. if not, that pilot got some series cobra skillz. he cobraed the FUCK outta dat shit

[TheProjektcc]

@RezViper

No the original mig 29 COULD pull a cobra without thrust vectoring how ever it isn't as easy to do as with the flanker because mig 29 is not a fly by wire aircraft and there is nothing protecting the pilot from over g the aircraft and breaking the linkage cables, in other words, it takes a skilled pilot.

[AdverbAdjective]

cobra = worthless

[russerbgreek]

@AdverbAdjective ...becouse....?????? Why?????

[NosferatuAaacaado]

@AdverbAdjective says the youtube war expert... hahaha just gtfo you fucking fail

[AdverbAdjective]

@NosferatuAaacaado lol don't be a bitch because russian planes suck ass

[NosferatuAaacaado]

@AdverbAdjective say's who?

[ganjasaurusrex]

@NosferatuAaacaado He's right, you know. Go ask an Eagle driver what he'd do if he saw some Flanker jockey pull this WVR.

[steelstrings1312]

@AdverbAdjective wrong. if another jet is on your ass and you pull a cobra, the other jet cant react in time to pull out of the way and will fly right past you making you now the chaser instead of the one being chased.

[StrainXv]

@0311SECFOR The JSF is a load of garbage, also it is possible, who do you think came up with thrust vectoring? have you seen a MIG engage a F-35? no and nether have the so called "Experts." It's the same type of thinking that made the Phantom almost flop in Vietnam to a technically inferior plane.

[StrainXv]

@0311SECFOR these are the same "Experts" that said guns wouldn't be needed in vietnam.

[wanbfriends]

Any planes can do this right?

[vivek1471990]

@wanbfriends no you are wrong

[FalloutRadius]

Man, those pilots have got a set of brass balls each.

[supramanz]

The real feat is that the engines don't stall.

[turan86]

Guys, i'm quite a noob but i have a question. In how many cases is the cobra maneuver usable during a dogfight? I mean the enemy has to be litterly on your tail, if you want it to have any effect.. I'm saying it again i'm a noob so don't scorn me...

[FalloutRadius]

@turan86 It's mainly for show.

[vivek1471990]

@turan86 mate dogfight is not definite one , which maneuver is capable of targetting opponent aircraft we cannot ask such questions but it doesnt mean cobra maneuver is not capable

[Swecan76]

The Swede's did the cobra maneuver long before the Russians, a little tid bit of information.

Made with the "draken" jet-fighter built in 1955.

[JVC7400]

@Swecan76 Dranken is awsome they went out of danish service in 93' i think

[EatsYouUp]

tricky move

[iwns74]

Something to do with the engine construction, right?

[FalloutRadius]

@iwns74 It's the engine nozzle. Thrust vectoring capability. Seen in missiles and fighter jets alike.

[Echo7301]

haykodjan agreed

Who want some su-27 simulation play flanker 1.5 - old game or LOMAC and others

[haykodjan]

Haispain 3 , they make it between 400-500 km/h, not 900 :-)

[Prophsmag]

Wheelie with the jet fighter.

[Haispan3]

What a stall, fly at a speed of around 900kph an hour and lift the nose up to a 110 degree angle for 3 seconds and let the nose drop again... quite easy....

[94Taurus]

And not gain altitude?

I'd like to see you try.

[el0chino]

hehe i think u didnt tocie the sarcasm on his comment XD

[petar19992]

@Haispan3 hahahahahahah... does the f-16 or f-15 can do that????

[JoeCitrix]

yeah, easy as pie. i did it in my cessna.

[mcwcow]

can you do it and stay on the same altitue level, and let the speed drop for about 600kph?

[el0chino]

grab a dictionary and look for the word "sarcasm"

[tonygogap]

Ha, it did that by stalling how easy, number one aircraft shot down in the world too.
