Re: Interesting Videos
A show of the MiG-35 (MiG-29 with TVC), dunno if it was ever posted before. However the MiG demonstrates an excellent flight such as 360º tumbling, high AoA (degree?), it almost stay still in the air... so on. One thing strange: the MiG-35 is claim to have canards, but this one has none. OK enjoy and have your own comment on it

Hm that display is great, but that's all. Such maneuvers look great to people on airshows, but are somewhat useless or even contraproductiv in air-combat IMO.
While it is surly helpfull to quickly attain a high AOA to engage an off-boresight target, those backflips don't give you more advantage but only slow your aircraft down immensly wich leads to a predictable decent. So your just making youself the perfect target.
Of course manoeverability is importand, but such actions are, or should be, only a secondary effect achieved.
something similar, perhaps already posted because it's some month old:
I think it's the same disply, first footage from the gound, second from cockpit and another plane.
And one impact.

True, most of these fancy maneuvers we see from the Su-27 and MiG-29 are done by experienced test pilots that literally know everything about the plane, not to mention the fact that most of these maneuvers are done without external weapons and fuel levels at probably minimal. :coffee:
I would be more amazed at seeing that MiG do the same tricks with a full load and full fuel tank and a random MiG-29 pilot from Russia...
