Good on you for mentioning it should only be used as a last ditch measure. Giving up airspeed like that in such a dramatic fashion is very very risky. Super cool for airshow though

It's not even really the air speed loss that's the bad thing, even when used correctly it still just doesn't really work. Very rarely will you find a situation where you will benefit from it and even if you do, most times there will be another solution that is easier and won't murder your airspeed.

"Parad" in "Kort Parad" would in regular Swedish not usually bring "parry" to mind. "Parad" can be used in sports, especially in fencing, to mean a parry but outside fencing this is mostly used when goalies in various sports make saves/parries with their feet/legs, "fotparad". To most Swedes it would firstly mean "parade" and one could certainly view this maneuver as the plane doing a "short parade". There is another meaning to "parad" too, associated with equestrianism, that fits rather well with this maneuver though. In this meaning "parad" means "a quick change from movement to stand still".

[@katherineberger6329]

"Kort parad" or "short parry" in Swedish is what we English speakers call a "beat parry" - when you use a brief stroke of your sword in fencing to beat the opponent's sword out of the way in order to create an opening for a riposte. Like the beat parry in actual fencing, it's a high-risk, high-reward maneuver because if you succeed you can win quickly but if you fail you're extremely vulnerable.

Missiles and radar from the jet become blind AT the perfect moment so it's very useful to dodgue Missiles

[@iwyrilja]

Eehh not really. Getting into a dogfight is insanely rare but I wouldn’t say the high off-aspect missiles killed the cobra. only carry 2 short range HOBS missiles. Avoid those you need to use your guns. From there you get in a slow speed scissoring type fight and using the cobra when your opponent starts his turn towards you usually avoids their guns and gives you an advantageous position. It’s never going to happen cause 9/10 times both parties would fire their missiles BVR until they both run out of fuel/ missiles and goes home or untill one or both get hit.

[@theamericancommie727]

The fuck do you mean? It completely justifies the cobra? You can't sustain energy like the western doctrine says with HOBS missiles because they will just kill you, they are extremely advanced missiles, the way you avoid them, is by bleeding your speed, and being slower than your opponent so they fly out in front of you, ideally if you both bleed speed you'll be so close to each other the HOBS missile can't pull in the small radius between you and the other jet, that's why WITH HOBS missiles anything other than a one circle slow speed fight is suicide

It can be also used in thereotical fight like it said in this short but in a few cases.
