THANK YOU FOR NOT ADDING MUSIC!!! So many airplane videos ruined by a music soundtrack. Nice to hear the engine, wind & pilot.

Doing a sustained 9g not even 100m above the ground. Absolute mad lad.

The pilot sounds like me when the elevator is broken and I have to walk up to my flat.

I needed a g-suit just for watching this in my chair.

going from -3 to +8 has got to be quite the tummy adventure

I just came back from flying in a figher jet as a tourist and I just have to say that this is CRAZY. I am a fit 30 year old male, and even 4.5G for 6-7 seconds was really tough on me. The highest I hit was 6.5G for about 2 seconds and I can tell you I was glad when those 2 seconds were up. The fact that this guy pulls 9G for like 10 seconds over and over again while maneuvering the plane brilliantly is just crazy. Big big kudos to all the figher pilots out there. Damn impressive.

The sound of the fighter pilot add so much to this video. From the ground, or in a movie, it seems to be so easy. But with the sound from the pilot it gets to a completely new level. What an amazing task they perform. I guess none of us can imagine how it is to be at work at +9G. Hat off for all fighter pilots, you are very special.

Thanks for including the pilots breathing! It shows how difficult it is rolling all those G's in quick succession. Great video.

[@Aokitadamitsu]

his breathing says it all.. that is hard work

[@JoakimFritz]

As a humble aviation enthusiast without any stick time, I’m really amazed by the flight control system in Gripen. It seems really precise and and smooth, compared to some other types with fly-by-wire. It might just be my impression though. This pilot is obviously incredibly skillful, regardless.

Now I know that being a combat pilot is tough work every second in the air. Before I thought it was just like playing a video game, even though I already know about G-Force, but after seeing this video and hearing the pilot's voice I can imagine how heavy it is. All my respect to all the combat pilots in the world, wherever you are ...

When you can feel his struggles through his groans...

Nothing compared to the GForce i felt when my gearbox fell out my Saab 900 at 70mph.

In warthunder: “Pulls 5G for a microsecond”

[@yawningkitty457]

When 8 mins feels like 3 hours in a gym.

[@AdurianJ]

WOW the DCS graphics update looks great !

[@kyuby534]

Can we just talk about the fact that a 10T fighter plane just went to landing to a complete stop in like 300 meters , those brake are insane

[@pae18sg]

Being a fighter pilot was one of childhood ambition. I would return to watch this video every once in a while to live up the feeling! Great video
