We Americans have seen far more action with the Russians as allies than enemies in the last seventy-odd years or so. Condolences to the families of the dead and seriously injured pilots.

I mean, they're amazingly skilled pilots in amazing aircraft and they were just trying to entertain the populace...

Russian pilots do this on a regular basis. I am sure they train for it as they include it in many of their demonstrations.

As far as I can tell Russian pilot actually lost his common sense and due to his desperate ejection he lost his life. In this regard i would appreciate developing nations although they are poor, but before enlisting in their Air Forces. They completely scan their candidates in all aspects such as, Intelligence, writing, prediction, common sense, anger test (specified nations) and much more. Bottom line is that do not underestimate Asians.
