At the 2014 China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition (Zhuhai Airshow), the Russian Su-35S made a striking appearance, showcasing its exceptional maneuverability. The advanced multirole fighter, equipped with thrust-vectoring engines, performed breathtaking low-speed passes, high-angle-of-attack maneuvers, and the famous "Pugachev's Cobra." Russian test pilots demonstrated the jet's supermaneuverability, emphasizing its agility in dogfighting scenarios. The Su-35S, a highly upgraded variant of the Su-27, featured advanced avionics, a powerful Irbis-E radar, and an improved airframe. Its participation was part of Russia's marketing effort to attract potential buyers, particularly China, which later procured Su-35s for the PLAAF. Designed by the Soviet Union to challenge the superiority of fourth generation US fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20, 1977. This one seat Mach-2 fighter had the Soviet Union's first operational fly-by-wire system. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but it is built with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is exceptionally agile and is perhaps most famous for its "Cobra" maneuver, which is a short, sustained level flight at a 120 degree angle of attack, often performed at air shows. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
