Su-37 Terminator Ultra Manuevrability

The Su-37 multirole, all-weather fighter aircraft demonstrator is derived from the family of aircraft based on the Su-27, which was developed in 1977 by the Sukhoi Experimental Design Bureau in Moscow and is in service with the Russian Air Force and a number of other countries. This family also includes the Su-27UB, Su-30, Su-33, Su-32FN and Su-35, and has the Nato codename Flanker. The Russian Air Force is currently operating two Su-37 aircraft.

The new feature of the super-manoeuvrable Su-37 fighter is the two-dimensional thrust vector control engines, which allow the aircraft to recover from spins and stalls at almost any altitude, while it is also equipped with full digital fly-by-wire controls.

The first flight of the Su-37 prototype was in April 1996, with a public appearance at the Mosaero show. This was followed by a demonstration flight at the Farnborough 1996 Airshow.

The aircraft demonstrated new manoeuvres, such as the ability to point the nose away from direction of flight for sustained periods, rotating the nose through 360° and recovering from tail slide by rolling into an entirely different plane. State funding for the aircraft was withdrawn for a time, but it was restored in 1999 and Su-37 is undergoing flight testing.

The Su-37 all-weather multirole fighter aircraft can fly at a maximum speed of 2,440km/h. The range and service ceiling of the aircraft are 3,700km and 18,000m respectively and the aircraft weighs around 18,500kg.

Thumbs up for Russia from Brazil!

are still under development.

@aaoemail Sorry, I don't understand a word he says. All I can see is a F-15 & Su-27 in a computer simulation trying to shake each other. As you know the Su-30MKI is an advanced version of the Su-27, & in Red Flag the MKI lost consistently to the F-15.

I think the F-22 is well worth the cost. It has no equal, & in lives that could be saved is worth it. The Pak-Fa's avionics, RCS are inferior to the F-22. We'll have to wait & see about power & maneuverability as the Pak’s engines

@asusucks I will not argue that выевили at an early stage.

But the F-22 is not worth the money. The F-35 seems preferable.

Su-27 in his time, gave no chance to the F-15

Here the Russian language.

And even at the approach of the PAK-FA

@asusucks I don't know about the aim-9x or what it's guided with, but against the radar guided ones chaff is used.

@Alekss140 totaly agree.

@asusucks Flares nowdays are not relaible thats true, the real IR systemes are IRCM and ECM but this systemes needs to be realy sophisticated,they need a huge information about all datas from wich kind of missile is incoming and wich mode it has to switch to irritade the missile effective.IR-Flares irritade only old missiles wich are the most used of each country and USA is inclueded.But IR-flares relaible or not increase the time of the cleare locking mode of IR-homing missiles.

@Alekss140 I agree nobody wins in war. That is a good note to leave on. Take care.

@ogi415 Flares don't work as well as they used to against IR missiles. Watch at the .17 mark of the vid called "AIM-9x SIDEWINDER Trial" and you'll see a QF-4 drone dropping flares w/ no success.
