Very short and low-quality but historical video. On the 17th of July, 1998 by the carrier landing mistake of Pavel Podguzov it was discovered new aerobatic element - "gurza Podguzova" of "Podguzov viper". Only pilot's professionalism and highest Su-33 flight performance allowed this situation not to became a disaster.

  • Sukhoi family rocks military aviation world!

  • If it was an F-14 (not to mention an F-18) it would have sunk into the bottom of the ocean.

  • If that would have been an F-18 then they'd have to spend some time fishing the pilot and plane out. Simply impressive sukhoi.

  • @orniver if it were an F-14 or F-18 it shouldn't be allow to ever take off in the first place.

  • Wow he didn't stall at such low speed and especially at THAT angle? Simply splendid.

  • I couldn't believe my eyes that this was done with ordinary turbofan engines, when I saw this the first time. Awesome skill on the part of the pilot and a simply awesome plane.

  • so that's how the Cobra was invented?

  • This has nothing to do with thrust vectoring.

    It's about engine thrust first and symmetrical airflow over the wings secondly. The way out of this is flying up untill you have enough airspeed to drop the nose again to horizontal flight or fall back and roll. But only after regaining enough airspeed.
