@OuterSpaceNews - Watch the exact moment the arresting cable catches the jet. In just a split second, a fighter aircraft goes from high landing speed to a complete stop on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

Carrier landings are among the most demanding maneuvers in aviation. A tailhook attached to the aircraft grabs one of the deck cables, while powerful arresting gear absorbs enormous kinetic energy and safely brings the jet to a halt in a very short distance.
