Nice to see again, thank you, luckily I was watching from the other side of the fence.

Awesome. Thanks for the upload :)

Russians do the best planes! Thanks for the post!

[@caesar7734]

This plane is actually Ukrainian

Was……… rip

[@Dead0703]

@@caesar7734 You okay man? Serial production of the MiG-29 was launched in 1982 at the Moscow Machine-Building Plant No. 30 Znamya Truda (Tushino Machine-Building Plant), and the MiG-29UB combat training aircraft in Gorky at the aircraft plant No. 30.

@@caesar7734"This plane is actually Ukrainian" - Ukrainian cultists do not have a need for such aircraft. An-225 was part of Russian space program. Ukraine was created by global predictor in 20th century as an anti-Russian project. Russian Bolshevism (do not confuse with Communism) is closing project "Ukraine".

Stars of the show, remember watching it at the time. Mig-29 was the hot news, and the Sukhoi appeared to be just a bigger heavier naval variant, how things change.

[@mrrolandlawrence]

ah i remember going to this! ropes were much closer back then :) even got to walk inside the an225!

[@VulcanDriver1]

I was there. An-225 is such huge aircraft

[@toyotawitha20mm35]

4:25 : 27 degrees per second sustained turn rate, F-16C blk 30s is at 25 with the same percent of fuel the sukhoi has, people ignore this video so much.

[@donovannamibia7883]

I was there that day but I do not see myself in the video It was a huge crowd so it would be some kind of miracle if I did show up! It is sad that the An-225 has just been destroyed by the Russians in the invasion of Ukraine at the end of February 2022. We can hope that there is enough remaining of the second, unfinished An-225 to build another one.

[@DRY411S]

If the rumours at the time are true, the MiGs were delivered to the show inside the Antonov.

[@Paranormalcoffeelounge]

DRY411S yrs they did then they departed the su 27s escorted the antnov back home

[@Diadema033]

Su-27 turn at 4.30: 15 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@777Outrigger]

Yes, a slicked-off SU-27 that makes it unarmed, no weapons, and with no external fuel tanks, at half internal fuel, the SU-27 can do some pretty spectacular maneuvers, that are irrelevant in modern air combat.

[@GIANNHSPEIRAIAS]

In the modern air warfare where everyone can jam everyone visual app will be crucial

[@mrrolandlawrence]

you dont really need external fuel tanks on this. its range is 3500km. half tanks would still get you from london to glasgow. there are other videos on YT where you can see the su35 performing with a weapons load.

[@lukaszkornatowski8328]

@@777Outrigger Yeah. Right. And other planes on airshows(F-15, -16 - 22 - 35 EF2000 .. etc ) are fully loaded with internal/external fuel and ammunition... Of course not. They are - exactly as this Su - "empty shells". But the difference is, that Su -27 even as "empty shell" (let say with fuel 30-40%) has still range , enough to make some close range air cover, not like other - just to take off, show 10 min display over airfield and land. To sum up - this maneuvers on airshow are more relevant to reality for Su, than for other planes on airshows

[@777Outrigger]

@@lukaszkornatowski8328 - Targeting pods, fuel, bombs, and missiles are all internal with an F-35 . Not so with an SU-27. No extra drag with an F-35 when ready for combat. Full combat radius, not range, of 625 NM (1157 km) with no externals hanging. No external drag, just like in an F-35 airshow.

[@davidwakefield2425]

Am i right to say only one 225 was built ? and has now been destroyed by the Russians in Ukraine ?

[@BigPhil426]

Sadly, yes. A second example was part constructed and may be completed in the future. I hope so.

[@johnrussell3755]

how come the russians come to the NATO countries for air show while NATO does not go to moscow?
