THIS IS SCARRY


This is ominous!
The red smoke coming from the  wingtips is only there to demonstrate to spectators on the ground the direction the plane is actually moving through the air.  Normally the smoke wouldn't be there.  When the smoke is streaming behind, the airplane is moving fast forward etc.

When the airplane is engulfed in smoke, it means the  airplane is almost stopped in mid-air.  The maneuverability of this plane is incredible. This plane would be nearly impossible to defeat in a dogfight.

READ BEFORE VIEWING

Russia now has #1 fighter plane in the world... SU-30-Vectored Thrust with Canards.

As you watch this  airplane, look at the canards moving along side of, and just below the canopy rail.  The "canards" are the small wings forward of the main wings?  The smoke and contrails provide a sense of the actual flight path, sometimes in reverse direction.

This video is of an in-flight demonstration flown by the Russian's-30MK fighter aircraft.  You will not believe what you are about to see.

The fighter can stall  from high speed, stopping forward motion in seconds. (full stall).  Then it demonstrates an ability to descend tail first without causing a compressor stall.

It can also recover from a flat spin in less than a minute.  These maneuver capabilities don't exist in any other aircraft in the world today.

We don't know which nations will soon be flying the SU-30MK, hopefully China isn't one of them. --Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Note: Friends worked with advanced aircraft flight control systems and concepts for many years as an extension of  stability control and means of control...

Canards and vectored  thrust were among many concepts examined to extend our fighter aircraft performance.  Neither our current or next generation aircraft now poised for funding & production can in any way match the performance of this Russian aircraft NOW FLYING in any near combat situation.

Somehow the bankrupt  Russian aircraft industry has out produced our complex politically tainted aerospace industry with this technology marvel.

Scratch any ideas of close in air-to-air combat with this aircraft in the future.
Take a look at the video with the sound up.  This aircraft is of concern to U.S and NATO planners.  Maximize your screen for best viewing.
