oh boy. Gotta love the Russians for their fighter jets. :D Ok, this got me all excited. Im off to fly on LOMAC!

[GT-R_R34]

ah i can't see it. i want to see if it is the 37 or 35 if it has little wings in the front and with thrust vector it's the 37.

[loliea]

Yep it's the SU 37 with the canards and TVC (Thrust Vectored Control).
Damn the first landing is short and slow :shock:
And what about the flip or the horizontal cobra!!! :crazyeyes:

[RAMMIUS]

Nope man , in the first half of the video it`s an SU 35 , with number 709 , that doesn`t have TVC , just look at the nozzles when it does Pughachev`s Kobra.

On the second part we have the SU 37 , number 711 meaning prototype 11 of the SU 35 , but modified to host those Saturn Lyulka
engines fitted with TVC.

The SU 37 was flown only by Colonel Yevgheny Frolov , Sukhoy`s best test pilot.

:mrgreen:

i saw that video when they showed it on discovery channel a while back in the Paris Airshow, the reporter said that Yevgheny Frolov challenge every body to a dogfight against the SU37, but no one took the challenge.

[SFDMALEX]

Well no wonder. In a dog fight I dont see any other playing out manuvering him. :lol:

F15 would struggle

anything else would struggle but the Raptor I guess, but its to early for the raptor.

[RAMMIUS]

^^^ Soon the Eurofighter Typhoon will have engines with TVC.

:D

[SFDMALEX]

/\/\/\But its brutal looking.

[gobs3z]

If you havn't heard the story yet, during the war games an Edwards an F-22 went up against 5 F-15's and all 5 F-15 were shot down before they ever picked up the F-22. All they could see was a blotch on the radar screen every once in awhile. I think the fight lasted a total of 20-25 seconds. Who needs a dog fight when you have a Raptor? :wink: Great vid with two great rugged planes, i wonder if any of those pilots were sober, haha.

[loliea]

Yep in this world of electronic and missile, dog fights are obsolete. Modern missile would eat the most maneuverable plane (Su 35, 37...) for breakfast...

[RAMMIUS]

^^^ each fighter jet has a device called ECM from electronic counter measures , that jamms incoming missiles .

so , if this guys put so much work in TVC technology , they most certainly know that the dog fight era it`s not quite a thing from the past

:wink:

Not quite.

Missle evasion is not that hard if you see it coming at you. If you see it coming at you it means the fight is over a distance, hence not a dog fight.

When the missle is about 2km 1.5km in front if you you pull your stick hard, pull of a 9g manuver drop some chaff and flare and your safe.

Still the most effective way to kill somebody is in close combat/dogfight.

Plus if you cant manuver your plane well then your definetly screwed because evasion would be hard.


Oh and as for the 117 and Raptor Ukrainians made a radar that sees them, and was selling them to middle East. But that would require support of GIS/AWACS. So that would mean only SAMS are able to take stealth planes down. :wink:

Great vid, thanks for the link a007apl. :D

In video games maybe, but in real life the new missile have a great range, clever radars (more than one tracking system) and have vectorial trust as well (not the exhaust but on the sides).
