  • SU-37

    this is not the su 27, but the far superior su 37. the su 37 is the only aircraft to pull off some of those munuevers. the f 22 would be taken out of the sky by this plane. the su 37 is the only plane to be able to force stall. that is what lets it make some of those menuevers. there is another plane being built that is far supiriour to this one, but its by the russians as well. the americans are still trying to figure out some of the techknoledgy used on this plane. the su 37 is at the time, the fastest, most muenuverable, and over all best fighter jet at the moment. for the pilots of the su 37, they are each tought the meunuvers that this video demonstrated.
    the one and only ART!

    • 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.

    • Its all about technology.

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

    can we just not say that this is a very skilled pilot and a very impressive airplane and just leave it at that?

  • 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.

    • 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
    • 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.

  • Su 37 RULES

    "Any time, any place." were the words of Sukhoi's Chief Designer, Mikhail Simonov, as he challenged any US aircraft to a mock combat after being questioned about the relevance of the Su37's Thrust Vectoring (TV) manouvers in combat. 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.....

    It's a SU-30MK, there are no two seater SU-37s.

  • underestimate

    I am new on this site ,Do not enderestimate the russians.They are the only one who have the capability to track american submarines which are some off the best in the world.With the beyond visual range dont you think they would have develope some form off counter mesure.The Russians built the best plains .If there planes are so big and yet out manuvers all the others.I know some day the russian is going to built a plain as small as the american plaines and at that time the american will be shitting in there pants.If this plain is the Fu 27 it carries about 16 misiles with look down shoot capability.

    By cecja 1142402516
  • Here is more on SU-37

    Do Video Search on top for "super flanker"

    F22 - 2D thrust vectoring
    SU37 - 3D thrust vectoring

    Both are amazing.

    Developed for different tactics and strategies. Cannot compare them in the way some ppl are trying to here.

    Sometimes it seems that patriotism = idiotism. At least it clouds the judgement. My god has a bigger dick than your god...

    Pugachov Cobra is only one of the simpliest things what this plane can do.

    By greebothecat 1139959086
  • 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!

    By ChristianRedBlooded 1139751188
    • Is that what you think?

      You think that Russia doesnt have enough planes to make a threat in war with America because they dont have enough money? Lets put it yhis way more than 80% of all the taxes goes to the Army which makes it easy to make weapons, aircrafts, sea and land vehicles. And if you say that Russia doesnt post any threats to the Americans. How come Mr.Bush went to the Russia's president and cried like a little BITCH to holt the advancement of the technologies

      By Lepo 1143068258
    • Yep you have a point there

      But believe me Russia hs enough resources and planes and gunfire to how to say it destroy Americaeven though it's not the right word.

      By ak_killer 1168078377
  • Lots of Jealous Yanks in this string

    I saw this plane, a SU-37, being thrown around the sky just like this at Farnborough in '96. For the record F-22 and Typhoon are only just coming in to service. Also Mr Bush can't decide how many F-22 he can afford, so whilst it might be better BVR, once all the missiles are fired the Su's will just keep coming and when it down to guns only I know where I'd rather be....

    By Sats 1139522978
    • I'm sorry to say that

      I'm russain myself you know but most of these planes will never see service in the army theyre just test planes in order to show off youu know russia has got severe problems with economy right now we can't mass product our newest technology at least that's what the last pocets of free media say

      By Mutley103 1146417795
    • Your right but not completely true

      Russia uses only a small part of it's resources and again is on top even though she has some problems.Be happy and proud your a russian your country has the tiniest problems.

  • Getaway, you make me doubt you

    If you "personally investigated a crash of an SU27" you should know that "those little wings in front of the cockpit" are called "canards".

    While this is an impressive demonstration, I saw no maneuvers that many other aircraft cannot make give similar pilot skills. I have seen propeller-driven aircraft in air shows do more.

    By Slrman 1139358920
    • please

      you CANNOT compare propeller driven aircraft with heavy ton jet planes, please! every year at the red bull air race almost every plane performs more incredible maneuvers than in this vid.

    • a little too late ruskies...

      the navy aviation will be using unmanned airplanes, drones, supersonic. russians are always a decade behind. If you think we are sissy for having computers fly our plane, then we will just have to F**k russians wives when their husbands don't come home. got you again. you can't win fool.

      By ak_killer 1168077837
  • AWESOME

    As soon as they added those extra wings right behind the cockpit, the controlability became amazing. Before that, just 10 years ago only a few pilots in whole army could do the Cobra (when plaine stops from speed 400km/h to 20-30 km/h in matter of seconds - great anti-missile maneuver). I personally investigated a crash of SU27 after the pilot attempted to do that and lost controll... With this new little wing - it is so much easier to perform it - it is almoust a routine maneuver for pilots and part of their training (where they have such aircrafts)...
    Also the reverce flight is amazing (there is no othe plaine in the world can do that. Why? The engines simply stop (surge) as soon as the air flow stops coming into the front inlet and comes into the engine in behind nozzle.)...
    Go Russia, go.
    The problem is - except a few courtier air wings (trained for shows) the 80% of the army is extremely poor, equipped with old junky crap and bureaucratically oppressed... :-( Ok, stopping - it is too sensitive theme.

    By Getaway 1139341024
  • question

    the plan can do hard moves but in a low speed... can this plan do the same manouvers with voice speed.. since in real battles nothing go that slow and all these great moves will be useless... thats why i respect the F16... its creatures only concentrate how to improve it in real battles actions

    By wolfheart_2001 1139328200
    • Old Thinking and absolutelly amateur

      Reach a hight speed and do things there is not a problem since 60s... Sure all modern fighters and interceptors can flight 2-3 M - not a problem. But the faster an aircraft on hight speed, the harder it is to make it well controlled on super-low speed... The point is to show the aircaft controllability and how strong the plain is. Why we need super-sonic + low-speed ability in one machine? Simple - to survive. It allowes for the aircraft to flight super-low (25-50 meters), where you need great maneuverability to avoid collisions with buildings, groud and other flying crap like enemy choppers. In this case you can penetrate modern anti-aircraft defense system with less than 10% losses. (If you try to do that on a high speed, high altidude, you're lucky if your losses is lower than 70-75%).
      Good luck

    WOW, I lived very cloe to the Dubai International Airport between 1999 and 2002 and went to the air show every day including having the various practices over my home. Yup, screaming on the rooftop was me and when it came to the SU while I was at the airshow it was INCREDIBLE. Can't explain what goes through yoru body when you see this. Saw the two Russian Pilots that came to the show and them be big fellows. Only the strong can take the heat. lol. WOW!!

    Probably a Sukhoi SU-33 - a variant on the excellent SU27 Flanker. This has vector thrusting - adjustable exhaust nozzles etc - and does the famous 'Cobra' manoeuvre amongst others - Simply the greatest plane ever created!!!!

    • maybe

      I think that this is a SU - 37UB.A jet fighter that can carry 7 tons of munition.To compare american bomber A 10 Thunderbolt can carry 10 tons.But he hadn't shown Kulbit.A special manoeuvre with starting speed about 500 km/h then 360° backward flip and ending speed of 60 km/h with no altitude fall.And that machine can do 120° Cobra not only 90°.

  • In all walks of life,

    If a certain skill is honed to a certain degree of perfection, it becomes art, whether it be aviation, art in the classical sense, or simply making life-like figures out of gum wrappers. Once someone takes their talent to that next level, it ceases to be just a fun hobby or career.

    By GFlagger 1139172872
    • I heard that...

      Notice the advanced design - especially the "cannards" - the little fins in front of the main wings. You can see them moving, giving the aircraft whole new possibilities. They say that the current Joint Services fighter might be the last manned fighter for the USA. We are building craft that can out perform what a human pilot can physically endure. This is obviously the case in other countries, too. Looks like robots will be on the land and in the air and seas before too many years.

      By LiarsHateU.S. 1139202691
    • all that,

      and adjustable exhausts I guess.

      By phredje 1139215207
    • was it?

      Was it adjustable exhausts? Or is it that the canards allow insanely high angles of attack? It's fascinating to watch this and watch what the canards do.. they appear to act as forward elevons. I think they're using them to maintain airflow over the wings at incredible AoA, since each maneuver is thrust-down and nose-up. Plus the Su-33 has a positive thrust to weight ratio so it does in fact fly like a rocket at times, like the poster above said. I might be outdated but I don't think the US has had a positive T/W air superiority ship since the F-15. Anyway you can see the combat applications of those snap moves right away. Technological wonders never cease! (Nor cease to amaze...)

      By Jenga 1139270779
    • both

      Its a combination of the two. its called vectored thrust. thrust is what makes it move exhaust is a biproduct of the engine burning fuel.

      By WhatMeWorry 1139284024
    • that was a rhetorical question

      Right, knew that. I'm saying I don't think this craft has a vectored thrust engine. Or more specifically I'm saying that I think those maneuvers are possible without a vectored thrust engine, if the canards are acting as a turbulence foil, keeping the airflow over the top surface of the wing even at high angles of attack. The craft has enough engine power to muscle straight through so (given enough altitude) he could recover from anything, including a flat spin... as long as he can control and maintain airflow over the wing. Which is what the canards appear to be doing, if you look at their position relative to the angle of attack on the high-vector maneuvers.
