Yeah SU-31s get around that much I tink £300,000?
Anyway Phil is right, my russian book sez so, the cobra is a very sharp snap up wall but walls while still mvong forward. So a forward moving wall for 2 seconds is my explanation.
I dunno is they harrier but a cobra ia whole different manoever.
Although my russian book also outlined the cobra as lfying down and then turmning the nose upwards to shoot at the enemy, a sort of funny elevator
Those crazy SU-27 guys never cease to amze me.
Now someone will come up and disprove me but I dont care, I have seen vids and proof.
There was a special on TV I believe WINGS or something I caught and it profiled the new Su-31, and they had film from I believe the Paris Airshow. It was unbelievable. The 31 accomplishes it's extreme maneuvering from a vectoring exhaust nozzle on it's jet engine that instantly changes the thrust line. Very, very cool.
