By crzychipmunk 1139449148 Reply Spam [+4] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove 521494 0 not the only one hi! the su-37 (if it's one) is not the only aircraft of the russians being able to perform maneuvers like that. i saw the su-35 life at the ila in berlin in 1998. it performed the so called pugachev(?) cobra maneuver where the plane is flying almost inverted the tail forward almost without gaining altitude. even the mig 29 is very very good in tight maneuvers, even better is the flanker, the su-27. the su-35, and i guess the su-37 as well have vector thrust making it able for the pilots to fly like that. it's probably not the technology of those aircraft, it's the fact that they don't have it! f-18 pilots tried the cobra years ago but couldn't fly it due to their computer avoiding aircraft attitudes like those seen in this video. i bet the eurofighter typhoon comes close! but really when today will you get into a dog fight using such maneuvers. i hope we will never find out which one is the best, the raptor, the typhoon or one of those AWESOME russian aircraft.

Russia's technology is so advanced that Bush asked Russia to holt the improvement of the technology. Ya right Bush keep dreaming.

By WADE 1139796687 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove 476999 0 There's more to it than flash. This is a beautiful aircraft with astounding aerobatic capabilities. But the F-22's weapons systems would make it more than a match for this plane in air-to-air combat. In an airshow, I'd take this one. In combat, I'd take the F-22. U.S.-made fighter jets have a dominant record against Soviet (Russian) made fighters in real combat engagements over the last few decades. And it's not by accident.

By Youry 1161316609 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove 1598322 1 Tr Correction, US jets have dominant record against PREVIOUS generation of Soviet/Russian jets. The only time when US jets had met the same generation Soviet jets was in Korean war and Soviet jet fighters took US planes off the skies one after another. After that there wasn't a single real combat match-up between concurrent generation of Soviet/Russian and US jet fighters. By lagin 1164961922 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove 3496132 1 Correction on the correction US Air Force F-86 Sabres have a documented total kill ratio in the Korean Air War of better than 10:1 over the Mig-15. While most of these were against Korean and Chinese pilots, the numbers of US vs. Russian kills is still a subject of debate. Some say this was fairly evenly matched, others say Russian pilots boasted a 2:1 kill ratio over the US pilots. Even so, I would hardly refer to this as "taking US planes out of the skies one after another". The US pilots owned Mig Alley. As for the F-22, this aircraft also has thrust vectoring and US pilots have already demonstrated the capability of the F-22 to peform such maneuvers as demonstrated in this video including the Pugachev Cobra and Cobra Turn and the Somersault as well as other force stall maneuvers. Even so, these maneuvers are not all that useful in combat scenarios. And, given the F-22's stealth capabilities, the F-22 would have shot down the SU-37 before the Russion pilot even knew what hit him. There is no question that the F-22 is the far superior combat weapon and can at least evenly match the maneuverability of what is shown in this video.

And it is a challenge which has not been taken up. The Su37 Super Flanker is yet another development of the Su27 (which now seems basic in comparision!). The main improvement / addition in this development is the addition of the AL-37FU thrust vectoring engines. When the Su37 was displayed at Farnbrough in 1996 it stole the show. Under the control of Sukhoi's Cheif Test Pilot, Eugeny Frolov, the Su37 performed some astounding manouveres. I feel sorry that money is today there problem but hope they will get stronger in finance soon! But IDEAS are no ones monopoly..... HATS OF RUSSIANS!!

Pugachov Cobra is only one of the simpliest things what this plane can do. hail. By greebothecat 1139959086 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove 539757 0 Nice plane but There is no doubt that this is a great plane. The only problem is the "first shot, first kill" reality to today's modern air combat. This plane is basically an F-15 with thrust vectoring. If dogfighting was valid in today's modern combat, the Russian plane might be the best out there but dogfighting has nothing to do with modern combat. America's eyes in the sky would see this plane and kill it LONG before it ever saw the American plane, whether it be the new F-22 or the F-14, F15 or F-16. Besides, Russia would run out of money to build enough of these fighters to make them any real threat in a war with America!
