Pugachev Cobra SU-37

The Pugachev Cobra is a fighter aircraft maneuver. It is a demonstration of the pitch control authority, high angle of attack (AOA) stability and engine/inlet compatibility at high angles of attack of the aircraft. The maneuver allows for very quick turns which can make an attack fail or put the pilot in a position to execute an attack. It is an example of air combat manoeuvering (ACM). Many Western experts on ACM believe this maneuver has absolutely no value in actual air combat; nonetheless, the Pugachev Cobra is known to be one of the most aesthetic, dramatic, demanding and beautiful maneuvers performed at air shows worldwide. The maneuver is so named after the Sukhoi OKB (design bureau) test pilot Viktor Pugachev, who first performed the maneuver.

1. On this video is old Su-37, bort number 711, sadly now it's dead.

2. All new Su-35 in Russia has thrust vectoring engines, Su-35 design was reworked and now there's program to update all Su-27's into Su-35.

3. Russia is not poor, we just climbing from the very big crisis (don't forget, 19 years ago we was USSR, god forgive that country) and now we've got nearly stable and growing economics at last, let's hope it won't come down :)

To paraphrase Tom Clancy:' The Soviet Union invented the best machines in the world, But couldn't afford to make them viable. We simply had the money to make them work!' After 70 years of mis-management, it's not a suprise

!

As soon as the russian federation gets it's act together, stops corruption, and starts making money, the world will be truly amazed at what can be achieved!

Amazing stuff. Too bad Shaw AFB thinks this should be done every day over my house. Sucks to live in a poor county, but that's what you get for voting along party lines. Wonder how I can make them stop exploiting poor black people?
