Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I don't know if what you said is a fact or a rumor, but regardless, I just don't see how a Cobra maneuver would ever be used. Maybe it worked in the 60s but it certainly won't work on the more advanced fighters. If the opponent fighter is equipped with a HMD, and can actually see the SU-37 (assuming they can since the cobra requires a hella slow speed) the opponent pilot can just deliver an ASRAAM and finish the job...done deal!
I used the Cobra as an example, not stating it's a useful move in combat. It's a fact that an airplanes ability to manuever would change based on how much fuel load or payload is still on board. So if the Russians specifically "loaded" up the SU-37 to do their demonstration, then it doesn't really mean anything as it's not a true indicator of the planes capabilities under all possible conditions. Most people who argue about the SU-37's dogfight capabilities point to the SU-37 airshow video where it does the Cobra (among other things).
Kinda explains why China didn't join the Pak Fa program like India.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
Awesome thread! Loving all the pictures and conversation about awesomeness!
Don't know if anyone has seen it, but if you like Military Aircraft, check out Fighter Pilot - Operation Red Flag. It's really sweet! Download the HD version and sit back.
