Good Su-27 Flanker video clip

[ballsac]

This is a pretty good clip. 7:30mins total. Camera work and audio are pretty good.

It does the Cobra manoeuvre at about the 3:18min mark.

Would love to see one of these perform in person. Anyone on here seen one?

Hedley: From what I have read, the Su-27 does not employ thrust vectoring, although some later variants do. (Su-30, etc...) Assuming that is the case, how do you explain the aircraft's ability to perform the Cobra? Just a matter of greater elevator surface area/authority? How is so much pitch achieved?

The HUD and mirrors get used a lot which don't require you to move your head very much.
