The Su-35 aerodynamic design coupled with its thrust vectoring engines is a real monster of heavyweight fighter's radical aerobatics and allows it to perform seemingly physics-defying maneuvers that no other airplane can truly match (although some do get close)... a truly magic combination of engineering feats and crew airmanship! :D
But that's obviously just a blatant hoax of course, promoted to hide the actual truth, that the Kremlin has a personal grudge of sorts with Newtonian Physics and has therefore imposed sanctions on gravity, barring common physics from fully affecting the behavior of russian jets, while flying over russian sovereign soil (ROFL).
Otherwise, rumour has it that in reality, it is all somewhat more simple and that it just would happen that russian officials just became friends with the laws of physics long ago and have come to an understanding... ( :
What's your take?
Let me know in the comments below!
Today's video shows two different flights performed at MAKS Airshow, on the first one we can see Sukhoi test pilot Юрий Ващук (Yuriy Vaschuk) at the controls of the Su-35S pulling a short yet very extreme and aggressive flight display. This flight is followed by a standalone take-off from a Su-35 with Khibiny ECM pods and after that comes yet another slightly longer Su-35 flight demonstration performed by Сергей Костин (Sergey Kostin), yet another fantastic Sukhoi test pilot. This last performance is a bit more 'classic' but also displays quite a few hardcore moves, so don't lose any detail! :)
The Sukhoi Su-35 (Сухой Су-35; NATO reporting name: Flanker-E) is the designation for two separate, heavily-upgraded derivatives of the Su-27 air-defence fighter. They are twin-engine, single-seater, highly-maneuverable fighter aircraft, designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and built by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association.
The first variant (not a Loki though... or maybe?) was designed during the 1980s as an upgrade of the Su-27, and was initially known as the Su-27M. This derivative made use of canards and had a multi-function radar that transformed the aircraft into a multi-role fighter jet. It was also structurally reinforced to support its heavier weight. The first prototype made its maiden flight in June 1988. The aircraft did not enter mass production at the time due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and therefore Sukhoi re-designated the aircraft later on as Su-35 to attract export orders. At the same time, the fourteen aircraft initially produced were used for tests and exhibitions; one example had thrust-vectoring engines installed, and the resultant Su-37 was used as a technology demonstrator.
In 2003, Sukhoi embarked on a second modernization of the Su-35 to serve as an interim aircraft awaiting the development of the Sukhoi PAK-FA (Su-57, previously T-50) program. Also known as Su-35, this derivative had a redesigned and highly modernized cockpit as well as an improved weapons-control system, it also featured thrust-vectoring engines (AL-41F1S, formerly AL-117S) in place of the omitted canards. The airbrake was gone and it used aerodynamic rudder brakes. The type made its first flight in February 2008. Although the aircraft was designed for export, the Russian Air Force in 2009 became the launch customer of the aircraft, the production version of which is the currently designated Su-35S.

![DASSAULT RAFALE, Crazy Agile Flights! ✈️ MAKS 2013 [Remastered]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/evW2jX2CREc/mqdefault.jpg "DASSAULT RAFALE, Crazy Agile Flights! ✈️ MAKS 2013 [Remastered]
Dassault Rafale Solo Display Team showing off the great agility of this superb fighter at MAKS 2013 International Air and Space Salon.
Back in the day my footage was quite shaky but now I have better means of stabilization and color grading so I wanted to resurrect a few videos and give them a bit of polish... Hope youll appreciate the effort! :)
The Dassault Rafale (French pronunciation: [ʁafal], literally meaning gust of wind, and burst of fire in a more military sense) is a French twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. Equipped with a wide range of weapons, the Rafale is intended to perform air supremacy, interdiction, aerial reconnaissance, ground support, in-depth strike, anti-ship strike and nuclear deterrence missions. The Rafale is referred to as an omnirole aircraft by Dassault.
In the late 1970s, the French Air Force and French Navy were seeking to replace and consolidate their current fleets of aircraft. In order to reduce development costs and boost prospective sales, France entered into an arrangement with the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain to produce an agile multi-purpose Future European Fighter Aircraft (which would become the Eurofighter Typhoon). Subsequent disagreements over workshare and differing requirements led to Frances pursuit of its own development programme. Dassault built a technology demonstrator which first flew in July 1986 as part of an eight-year flight-test programme, paving the way for the go-ahead of the project. The Rafale is distinct from other European fighters of its era in that it is almost entirely built by one country, involving most of Frances major defence contractors, such as Dassault, Thales and Safran.
Many of the aircrafts avionics and features, such as direct voice input, the RBE2 AA active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and the optronique secteur frontal infrared search and track (IRST) sensor, were domestically developed and produced for the Rafale programme. Originally scheduled to enter service in 1996, the Rafale suffered significant delays due to post-Cold War budget cuts and changes in priorities. The aircraft is available in three main variants: Rafale C single-seat land-based version, Rafale B twin-seat land-based version, and Rafale M single-seat carrier-based version. Introduced in 2001, the Rafale is being produced for both the French Air Force and Navy.
The Rafale was developed as a modern jet fighter with a very high level of agility; Dassault chose to combine a delta wing with active close-coupled canard to maximize manoeuvrability. The aircraft is capable of withstanding from −3.6g to 9g (10.5g on Rafale solo display and a maximum of 11g can be reached in case of emergency). The Rafale is an aerodynamically unstable aircraft and uses digital fly-by-wire flight controls to artificially enforce and maintain stability. The aircrafts canards also act to reduce the minimum landing speed to 115 knots (213 km/h); while in flight, airspeeds as low as 15 knots (28 km/h) have been observed during training missions. According to simulations by Dassault, the Rafale has sufficient low speed performance to operate from STOBAR-configured aircraft carriers, and can take off using a ski-jump with no modifications.
