  • Для тех, кто понимает русскую речь и писменность.

    Су-27 по праву считается лучшим в мире истребителем. Для этого самолета угол атаки в 100 градусов далеко не предел!!! Этот самолет может достигать углов атаки в 180 градусов!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! То есть он может не меняя направления полета выполнить сей маневр и тогда охотник становится добычей!!!

  • Imagine the g forces doing that... Ouch

    

  • @WingmanTISwin its not the positive Gs thats kills you its those negatives Gs when you pull the nose back down

  • @kingtaythe2 Oh, thanks for the clarification! I suppose the faster you go, the more dangerous it is to pull off a cobra, if even possible at supersonic speeds.

  • I'm embarrassed to say the first time I ever heard of or saw such a thing as this was in the Battlefield 3 Campaign, and Im one of those people who -HATES- geeks who pretend they know a lot about military stuff, or anytihng from what they learned in an army game.

  • No matter what the debate about the combat efficacy of this move, this is an impressive display of skill on the part of the pilot.

  • It's like drifting for fighter jets.

  • useful for air to air combat. but difficult.

  • /watch?v=tMIFAl_fID4&NR=1

  • Cobra manuover baaah, look up a video of any old SU-26 or 31throwing itself around the sky and then tell me this modern fighter "hype" is impressive.

    /watch?v=eir8ZsZKEJ0&NR=1

    WAKE UP Gamers aircraft are REAL.

    Most manoverable aircraft in word (even today) = Harrier, the only airframe to VIFF.

  • Mav: I'll put the brakes on and he will fly by!

  • could you imagine the g's that pilot is taking, holy shit....

  • @FaurionWolf nothing more than 1 g you mean?

  • Just a curiosity... is this maneuver somehow useful or it's just for showing off on air shows ?

  • @e1gr It's just for showing off. The cobra is completely useless in combat for two reasons: 1. You have to be going slow prior to starting the maneuver because of the immense negative G's on the pilot. 2. It brings you almost to a stop which leaves a lightly-armored air superiority fighter a sitting duck to fire from the ground and other aircraft in the vicinity.

  • @nexus1g Маневр "Кобра" показывает маневренность самолета и короткую дистанцию мертвой петли, что полезна в бою

  • @MrTxLine I don't know what you're talking about. Don't use idioms.

  • @nexus1g Cobra is meant for air-to-air combat. It is used to get behind your attacker by climbing into a cloud, pulling a cobra, then surprising your oponent. Can also be used as a last chance move if your attackers airplane is superior.

    A better move is what is called a spin cobra, where you pull a high G cobra while applying full rudder to make the aircraft bleed speed while pulling less Gs and then diving straight down for airspeed, then pulling up to engage your enemy from bottom to top.

  • @TheSilentwarrior99 You haven't a clue. Just don't post if you don't know.

  • @nexus1g Mr Know-All : wikipedia org/wiki/Cobra_Turn or spin cobra and i quote "instead of returning to level flight applies rudder or thrust vectoring and turns downward". Educate yourself before bashing others.

  • @TheSilentwarrior99 So what does that have to do with its effectiveness in combat?

  • @nexus1g Dont change the subject just because it suits you. However, spin cobra is one if not the best move you can perform when beeing chased at close range, such as in training. In real world situation with modern fighters if you even manage to visually confirm your air-to-air target you are in luck, fire and forget is now THE tatic for air-to-air combat, close/mid range fights where manouverability gives you advantage is very rare these days.

  • @TheSilentwarrior99 Change the subject? The subject (which you started) was that the cobra is meant for air-to-air combat. No. No, it's not.

  • @nexus1g Well, for air-to-ground it certainly is not!

  • @TheSilentwarrior99 It's not for either. It's just for showing off.

  • @nexus1g Exactly. It is not useful for combat. However there are other manouvers who are very good for combat. Spin cobra beeing one of them.

  • @TheSilentwarrior99 You're contradicting yourself now. You said the "cobra is meant for air-to-air combat" in your original post and then offered the cobra turn as a better alternative. And even the cobra turn is not that great of an idea to use in combat.

  • @nexus1g If you read it carefully you will see that I said that pugas cobra is for air-to-air combat, but it isnt useful, dangerous in fact. And that spin cobra is a much better alternative that is somewhat useful in specific situations (only good for close/mid air-to-air situations). You labeled it as show off because its not useful in combat, however it is in fact a air-to-air tatical maneuver, just not very useful. Same the complete vertical stall maneuver is useless when you can just loop.

  • @TheSilentwarrior99 "...but it isnt useful, dangerous in fact...And that spin cobra...is somewhat useful in specific situations..." you said nothing of the sort.

    "...however it is in fact a air-to-air tatical maneuver..." No, it's not. It's a demonstration of instantaneous turning radius and nothing more. As I listed before. 1. You have to be going too slow in the first place to perform either maneuver. 2. It brings you to a near stop. Never a good thing in combat.

  • @e1gr Sorry, I meant positive, not negative G's.

  • in actual combat, with armament, i think the plane would suffer some sort of catastrophic structural failure. a full load of fuel wouldn't make things any better either. it's a great looking maneuver for an airshow tho.

  • Ok guys, I see many of you missed the point.

    Imagine an aerial dogfight, between 2 aircraft (the birds will be anonymous to avoid heated debate), both have depleted of missiles, flying over 1.5 Mach. Both birds trying to get each other back with guns firing. Effective gun range is about 800m. When a bird suddenly do a cobra maneuver, the speed drops to 400km/h & the second bird will overshoot. If the initial speed is 1500km/m, it will overshot about 400m/s. But again risky tactic.

  • @arafat88ryu something tells me, that doing a cobra @ mach 1,5 will leave the plane (and the pilot) in a state that the other bird won't even have to shoot...

  • @AKAtheA Thats what I said, risky tactic. There are certain limitation that human body cant take, but jet fighter pilots are some of the job that stresses human body to its limit. Some pilots maybe cant but some will. Yet again, if the pilot are brave & skilled enough to do the maneuver, I think he can pull it of.

  • @arafat88ryu I don't doubt the boldness of the pilot, but all of these cobra maneuvers you get to see are done in mach <1, such high angle of attack in supersonic speeds would probably rip pieces off the wings...

  • @AKAtheA Oh, I see your point. Your right, it might rip the wings off. But again, in below Mach 1 dogfight scenario it might be an impressive sight if both planes do the maneuver to out-maneuver each other. Thanks for the replys.

  • Does not matter that this jet can do a cobra maneuver...it is an outdated feature since dog fighting is so rare(As an aviator, I admit it is an awesome capability). The technology of the F-35 and F-22 don't require extreme maneuvering(even though they have it)...when a Su comes up on the 6 o’clock of these great American aircraft and is detected several miles out, they won't be able to out maneuver the missiles seeking them that are capable of making 60g turns.

  • @karlj48

    ez abszolút helytelen. mert ennek a repülőnek nincs radarja mi? egyébként egy rakétát egyszerű kimanőverezni, leht hogy 60g a terhelése de nem td nagyot kanyarodni, ezt a manővert arra szokták használni hogy valaki mögé kerüljenek, nem arra hogy megálljanak a rakéta előtt, ne nevettess. attól még hogy ellenzed az oroszokat vagy valami lockheed rajongó vagy ne nézesd magad hülyének!

  • @popsimon6 I tried to translate what you wrote and I am having trouble understanding what you are saying....if you understood what I wrote in english then reply in english next time.

  • @karlj48 The cobra is a usless manuver that in few way's help's in a dogfight.I personelly dont see the need for it.

  • what's the song?

  • Ace combat 4 yellow 13 down

  • Yellow 13 used to whoop my ass with that! Until I seen him doing it! LOL!

  • I wonder if when designing the aircraft they knew it would be capable of this, or did a pilot just fuck up one day pull out and say.... SHIT that was cool I'll do it again?

  • wtf 20 seconds and plus a cobra is a helciopter

  • @artaza99 The maneuver is named by the way the jet leans back and then shunts forward like a cobra (the snake that is) striking

  • @GeneralG1810 ahaaa sorry cause i was searching for cobras doing awsome manuvers

  • The Cobra is the ONLY thing this jet is famous for.

  • @stuntmanmike37

    butuska, hol élsz te hogy ilyeneket gondolsz?

  • @popsimon6 Speak English.

  • amazing it doesnt stalls

  • Superb maneuver!!! I wished I was a jet fighter pilot!! ;(

  • @Wellwellwellwell1 I was making a funny, but since you took it personally and seriously, sorry and thank you for correcting my joke.

  • It worked for Maverick. Woo hoo! Jester's dead!

  • @codywaynejones Maverick reduced his thrust output and pulled the stick back. There was no cobra maneuver. He just pitched upward and slowed down briefly.

  • From the World's best jet!

  • @40390576 Welcome to YouTube.

  • It looks as if the jet is doing the "TITANIC" pose.

  • What is that smoke ?

  • @jasan2121 I think it's water vapor

  • useless maneuver 

  • @AdverbAdjective said american retard.

  • @DirtyThing20 since when did lithuania get internet service? hahahaha. don't be jealous

  • @AdverbAdjective Since then when you finished your first grade, and didn`t finish second :DD.Haha owned...East people are never jealous :DDD ..The ones are only u :D

  • @DirtyThing20 hahaha keep dreaming

  • @AdverbAdjective LOL, don`t copy my words, retard :D

  • @DirtyThing20 go finish second grade now

  • @AdverbAdjective I`m already bachelor u dumb moron, stfu :DD ..Don`t copy my words u retarded useless crap.

  • @DirtyThing20 haha i'm a master 

  • It looks like the planes are trying to play limbo

  • beast

  • even the chinese makes best fighter jet now. the east and west and russia and germany are new power along with weakening america

  • @jaycdp say that to americans) they stupid as hell and still believe in Top Gun and Rambo.

  • @AllofStewie still believe in top gun, rambo? those are old movies that nobodu remembers, did russia barely get copies of them xD your you're all stupid ass hell thinking russia is a super power, you defeat a small country georgia which didn't put up heavy resitence and you guys got kicked out of the middle eat while suffering 14,000 casualties in 10 year middle east war, we been at war for also 10 years with iraq + al qaeda and taliban in 2 countries suffering a little over 5,000 deaths

  • @TH7596 LOL. keep watching fox

  • @AllofStewie keep watching fox? wtf you talking about. these are true facts that have to do nothing with network news, in fact i don't think any news organization have said anything about what i posted.

  • @TH7596

    It's not a fucking contest.

  • @TH7596

    you forgot Vietnam. 58,000 u.s. deaths, 350,000 u.s. casualties, or Korea- 33,000 deaths, 103,000 casualties.

    For the record, It's not a fucking contest.

  • @TH7596 Yea, the Russians got kicked out of the middle east while the U.S. was supplying the Iraqis with all sorts of weapons and supplies. Oh darn, shit hit the fan, and years later, turns out they were *probably* helping the wrong side. Now they pour in thousands of their own troops into a war that they will certainly not win. Seem like success? If you think the U.S. is competent in military operations, you are sadly mistaken. Turns out their intelligence is lackluster too.

  • @jaycdp germany?! have you seen their armed forces?? they don't even have an aircraft carrier. Great country, but not a superpower.

  • @SuperSukhoi30 I love aerobatic maneuvers and the Cobra is certainly an impressive demonstration of pitch control and AoA stability. And you're probably right about American pilots (at least in 4th gen fighters) because the maneuver has no practical use in ACM. U.S. 4th generation fighters have more than proven their air superiority in combat. Historical fact.

  • @burner188 yup, in iraq F-15c had no problem shooting down the mig 29's which also do the cobra.

  • Looks like a handy maneuver in a dogfight situation but if you don't see the stealth fighter coming in the first place then.....

  • mad

  • normally i would post a comment that shows my knowledge of planes, but not this time, because i just realized that the cobra maneuver looks like a pelvic thrust for planes

  • @SuperSukhoi30 That's probably because most of our aircraft do not have the ability to preform such a maneuver, and it's not necessary. We get along just fine without aircraft able to do this (F-15s flawless Kill/death ratio, F-16's service longevity and superiority, even after 40 years.)

    Silly elitist. Think before you mindlessly post in all caps.

  • @ysflightman well to update what you just said the f-22 and the f-15 active can do the cobra muenuver just as well

  • Stupid approaching useless in real combat. J-turn accomplishes same result (and turns you around), but looks stupider. Anyway, nice clip. Gotta love that Terminator.

  • this is great airshow move, but totaly useless against US air power.

  • too many people watched topgun as if it was a documentary lol

    the cobra maneuver is cool as a demo maneuver, but it's damn near useless in combat

  • @taterfamine go watch dogfight on history channel if you dont know what air combat is idiot....

  • Yeah it is a good maneuver for getting enemys off your 6 as long as theyre close and going fast.

  • I wonder how many G's that is? Anyone know?

    

  • Seems to me that would put unneccessary torque on the airframe and you might get a wing separation over time.

  • can f22 do that

  • truly amazing to see a wad of metal swimming through the air like a fish.

  • Esto si es la cobra

    Typhonc16

  • f22 stoit 1miliard dolaraov y on absolutno nevidimi vragov eto est raznica on sdelal programa nasa specialni zadanii

  • f22 numero 1

  • @baxobacho Russian multi-purpose fighter "T-50" Number 1 in world

  • @PashaOrehov the only problem is that it is first in service in 2015, and is not the best figther since it is not combat proffen

  • @baxobacho F-22 On the second plan

  • It Is Used To Evade Missiles,I Suppose?

  • @MrAviatordude Rather to get behind the plane that's been chasing you

  • interesting... but see how fast it's going? I'd like to see it do this at slower speeds, F-22 can.

  • It doesnt work in Air Combat for all who thinks Russians will win now

    Its just possible if the plane carriers no weapons and only LOW fuel

  • @Germanyisthebest1 It has been used in combat. Now it won't work for obvious reasons but it was quite successful back in the days.

  • @Ctuchik Lol no,where should it be use in Combat,there was no War with Planes who have the capability to make the Cobra Maneuver

    FAIL

  • @Germanyisthebest1 The Harrier has been able to do essentially the same thing for 30 years.......VIFFing (vector in forward flight)

  • @cf80to01 I think it uses those thrusters for vertical landing and take off, but i guess you COULD use them to pull one off.

  • @featheredmusic Aye, the brittish Harrier also got a special "manouver" if that is what people want to call it. It uses its moveable thrusters to almoust stop instantly, similar to the cobra manouver.

  • @pepparmostheelder Correct, but the harrier will run out of fuel in a matter of minutes..

  • @TheJeffreyklm Aye but I was just pointing out that this manouver on its own isnt that unique. There was for ex. a swedish plane before the russian ones called "Draken" that could do a very similiar manouver.

  • Ah, the old SWEDISH cobra maneuver.

    Yeah, this is not a "Russian", maneuver.

    This was done by Swede's with the old jet fighter J-35 Draken (dragon), in the 50's.

    A super stall.

  • @Swecan76 We may have invented the manoeuvre but it was the russians that saw the potential in it. we just used it to look good, they used it to kill shit.

  • @Ctuchik

    Since when has it ever been used to "kill shit".

    They have never faced an enemy and used it in a dogfight.

    Sweden did the first cobra, and Russians the super cobra.

  • The F-22 can do this move soo much better!

  • @10collier не пиз*ди. ему надо полчаса ввремени, чтоб её сделать. да и то с трудом.

  • Kill the stupid music

  • @MrVideoRater1 Fuck you.

  • It is a good maneuver, but if you use it at the wrong time, it will get you killed faster.

  • @ModernCombatTactics

    Some Russian attempted this in a Su-27 after a computer failed, ended up putting 12gs on the fighter and blacked out.

  • @ModernCombatTactics as every good maneuver :D

  • @ModernCombatTactics except from you I don't think anyone piloting a fighter jet will do a cobra while being locked down by a missile. This maneuver is intended to be used in a knife battle between 2 fighter jets. And it is THE best maneuver for this situation. oh my what's wrong with americans and this maneuver shut the fuck up! keep saying you "invented flight" if you want pride that much.

  • @ModernCombatTactics

    More like if you use it at all.

  • genial

  • O.o

  • Your mother also did the "cobra-maneuver" last night!! :D

  • on topic this really is some mad maneuver

  • whats with that russian 5th gen lol. it looks pretty simialar to the raptor, was your country trying to copy america (no offense)?

  • @105Raptor

    when you design a jet for a similiar purpose chances are they might look the same, if you wanna tell someone they are copying another country's airplane then you know what, your right, one learns from another, scavenge what works and improve it for the better, that is how creativity works

  • @AznDuD333 i wont diasgree with that lol. i want to see the two fighters fight each other lol

  • @105Raptor Plane with active/pasive rador and targetting wins :D

    Just detect plane that is 15km away of you, come a bit closer and then fire 2-3 rockets from distance 5km. Oponent do the same and if you are just a bit lucky nobody will survive :D

    this is what would happen in 1v1 i guess, real fight begins when those missile misses target and that time you need to prove your (pilots) skills...

  • @thomaspruzina, you dont need skills, you just have computers do it all lol

  • @105Raptor

    Eh, NO ONE needs skills. Computer do almost all the work. The pilot is just there to ensure the computer works right.

  • @Skaflar Then why spending one and a half millions in pilot training? If the computer does everything...

    The flight computer is tasked with flight control surfaces movement. The weapon computer is tasked with the transmission of information from the sensors to the weapons. Everything else is in control of the pilot.

  • @Stover36 Last I remember the price was 12M from zero hour to fleet. I think 1.5M is just for T-45 transition training.

  • @aeroshark1 Wow... it's far more expensive than what I remembered.

  • @Skaflar You must not be a pilot.

  • @105Raptor

    The reason why many jet fighters look the same is because of aerodynamics, not because of cool looks. If Russia make a similar plane to America it is because that shape gives ultimate flight maneuverability.

  • @burnwood It is also because Russia basicaly kept modifing the original SU-27 platform into the SU-33, SU-34(yes, thats the one that sits side by side instead of tandem), SU-35 and the SU-37. And the reasonthese all look rather similar to the F-15 is becase that was the pinacle of aerodynamic design at that time. Its just like the Mig-15 and the F-86.

  • @Vyppaaa11 and history repeats itself look at how sukhoi t-50 looks alot like the f-22 raptor

  • @JrGuacamoles I completely agree! But I will say one thing, the thrust vectoring on the SU-37 is far more versitile than the F-22s. If you want to get an idea of wwhat I'm talking about look up "F-16 does helicopter" in the search bar and a video of an F-16 outfitted with a similar nozzle ro the SU-37 doing some amazing manuvers should pop up. But the F-22's thrust vectoring is way more functional seeing as most turns in a dogfight take place with the aircraft in the "knife edge" orientation.

  • My favourite series of fighter =D

    Su-27, 30, 33 etc ...

  • F-22 is a nicer looking and better jet, but this one does the cobra so well lol

  • @105Raptor

    indeed my friend. Raptor is a very nice plane and i consider it best in world.

    but su30mki (shown above) is best in maneuvering). and Raptor is 5th gen so not comparable.

  • best

  • sweeeeeeeeeet !

  • holy shit amazing !

  • Amazing - every single time. I don't get tired of seeing this! 5/5

  • and maybe u should realise that noone believes that you are American, now there are many factors which support this, first, your name and secondly your incredible disregard for facts. you simply trade facts for fanaticism.

    and stop delivering your sad ad hominems all the time. makes you look dumb.

  • @SergeiSovietUnion1 2014: Russia runs out of funding for Sukhoi 50

  • @wildfrenzy What are you talking about Russia is in a clime of their economy, infact they are doing that well the U.S is in debt to them, i would love to know where the hell you got that from xD

  • who gives a shit about close combat. the dogfight is over. we've got stealth.

  • Yes, small radar signature, not invisible for the eye. Different thing.

  • @karlan9999

    As if you would ever get close enough to actually see an F-22.

  • :-) I been in 58 countries, I worked years on LM2500 turbines, I have ''Gold'' Dolphins on my chest ( if you know what that is?), I am not a Yank. The only dumb thing I have done lately is arguing with a child on you tube. Anyone can look up these things you list in 3 minutes, big deal. So why dont you go back to the shithole in russia where you guys came from. Reply if you want but I am done answering you. And yes,,,, I speak 4 different languages,,stupid boy...

  • 1903 - Aegidius Elling of Norway built the first successful gas turbine using both rotary compressors and turbines - the first gas turbine with excess power.

  • ok u got me fucked up if i ever see a jet do that in real life thats the day i join the airforce cuz that is sum crazy shit.

  • HAHA thats funny. A little piece of shit beating the f-22.....yea right

  • lol

    itp: ruskies raging at american planes because us is the only superpower remaining.

    doesn't matter who has the best planes, USAF is still the strongest air force in the world.

  • Jippyap.. Planes really means nothin' The Force is the allmighty.. ObiWan hastoughtyouwell - in a serious dogfight yankees drop in Their pants if they are against russkipieceofshits.

    Been there and seen that.. Alotta twats..

  • You're incomprehensible.

    Try typing properly.

  • nice

  • It seems like they made better already :)))

  • @Nazim1495

    you brainwashed fool. that US media propaganda will turn ya brains to shit man. looks like it already has actually.

  • Yeah TV shit huh, to bad i actually when to the AIRSHOWS!!

    YOU ARE AN IDIOT WITHOUT A SENSE OF MIND.

  • @Nazim1495

    well if you've seen the F-22 at airshows then you'll know exactly that the manouvers performed we're nothing that the russian aircraft cant do. theres no need to exagerate the facts, we all have eyes and can see for ourselves. if you had a sense of mind you'd see that and not have to exagerate an aircrafts performance to people who already know. we all know the capabilities of these aircraft and dont need some kids sci fi imagination. its like salesman talk from you.
