Country:  | You see that one cool move where it basically stops and tilts backwards? i believe that manoeuver is required of all russian fighters, the purpose being able to hit someone on your tail with a missile. Really cool stuff.

Country: | Some of their test pilots are pretty skilled, but I'm not too sure about the bulk of their service pilots. Especially with the present state of the Russian military, I don't think they get a lot of flight time. | |

Country: | My father in law is a retired Lt Col., USAF. He flew F-106s, F-15s, F-16s, F-5s, B-52s and the B-1. Every time he sees the video of the "Cobra" maneuver he chuckles and says "if that guy did that to me, I could wax him even in the 106." Apparently he didn't think that the Cobra as of any value during combat.

Country: | A sidewinder up the tailpipe might not be such a good selling feature though. | |
