MAKS 2017 - SU-35S Godess of Supermaneuverability - HD 50fps

Breathtaking, mind-boggling, soul-lifting, heart-stealing extreme flight display of the SU-35S Superflanker at MAKS 2017 in Russia (Zhukovskiy, Moscow)... With Юрий Ващук (Yuriy Vaschuk) at the controls, test pilot and Hero of the Russian Federation, this airplane appears to have no limits!
Showing both instantaneous and sustained turn rates that are already impressive on their own, the feature that definitely never ceases to amaze is the apparently endless ability to spin, twist and tumble around the sky at extremely high angles of attack while retaining full-control of the aircraft's attitude, making the SU-35S the undisputed 'Queen' of aerobatics in the sky!
The Sukhoi Su-35 (Сухой Су-35; NATO reporting name: Flanker-E) is the designation for two separate, heavily-upgraded derivatives of the Su-27 air-defence fighter. They are twin-engine, single-seater, highly-maneuverable fighter aircraft, designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and built by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association.
The first variant was designed during the 1980s as an upgrade of the Su-27, and was initially known as the Su-27M. This derivative made use of canards and had a multi-function radar that transformed the aircraft into a multi-role fighter jet. It was also structurally reinforced to support its heavier weight. The first prototype made its maiden flight in June 1988. The aircraft did not enter mass production at the time due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and therefore Sukhoi re-designated the aircraft later on as Su-35 to attract export orders. At the same time, the fourteen aircraft initially produced were used for tests and exhibitions; one example had thrust-vectoring engines installed, and the resultant Su-37 was used as a technology demonstrator. A sole two-seat trainer was also built in the late 1990s under the designation SU-35UB that strongly resembled the Su-30MK family.
In 2003, Sukhoi embarked on a second modernization of the Su-35 to serve as an interim aircraft awaiting the development of the Sukhoi PAK-FA (Su-57, previously T-50) program. Also known as Su-35, this derivative had a redesigned and highly modernized cockpit as well as an improved weapons-control system, it also featured thrust-vectoring engines (AL-41F1S, formerly AL-117S) in place of the omitted canards. The airbrake was gone and it used aerodynamic rudder brakes. The type made its first flight in February 2008. Although the aircraft was designed for export, the Russian Air Force in 2009 became the launch customer of the aircraft, the production version of which is the currently designated Su-35S. China's People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) is the sole foreign customer of the aircraft so far but other countries are reportedly in discussions with Russia about the possible purchase of the Su-35, among which is Indonesia, whose government is expected to sign a contract in the near future.

Sukhoi is a male name. But planes are female gender (Even if the word plane is male gender). At least, many pilots/captains treat their aircraft/vessels as such. It's kind of a cultural thing I guess. I like that appreciation. I guess it's up to each one to decide in the end.

You do realize we have photo evidence of their modern stealth fighter the SU57 using screws in the airframe? Now you might not see the issue with that which is fair but for example the f35s stealth plating is so tough you need Diamond tipped tools to pierce it. If the SU57 has visable screws that means it’s stealth plating is of far far less quality of the f35 or the Russian airforce is still using coatings to avoid radar detection which is a very outdated method. If they can’t even get their “best” fighter right then why should you just assume the SU35 with its outdated form of fighting is any better.

This is truly the benchmark for all fighter jets to follow where maneuverability & performance is concerned. The other manufactures of aircraft in the world make excellent flying machines as well (props given), but the Russians are the only ones that make a fighter that is controllable, recoverable & still lethal in any falling or stalling attitude ( altitude not withstanding).

[@Airguardian]

The rest of the fighters would likely be able to do that as well if they implemented thrust vectoring nozzles but it appears that western manufacturers are not bothered to go there... sadly! I'd love to see other jets performing these moves!

[@BlackSkorpion1991]

why would you keep a dogfight doctrine when since cold war the chances of dogfight happening dropped more and more up to the point that they barely happen anymore. is this clear enough ? i.stack.imgur.com/lhIDl.png

[@Airguardian]

The chart you use is misleading as it doesn't reflect the percentage of kill probability of each weapon system. It's worth very little that 'such percentage' of total kills have been made with a certain type of missile, for example, if to get that kill you needed to launch a ton of them in the first place. Then I also think it is misleading as most of that 'most recent data' has been gathered in conflicts where one side had an inmense technological and training edge over the other, which makes the results totally biased. That is not to say that BVR is useless. It's certainly not that. But failing to see that there might be scenarios in which it doesn't play out is dangerous.

Gorgeous. As an American, it makes me nervous for our aircrews that potentially could face these with our JSF or f22. Our current theory of energy/maneuverability might work at a disadvantage if we ever got close and personal. These are, in my opinion, and from a practicality and aesthetics standpoint, the best jets currently made. The f22 CANNOT do what this aircraft can.

[@Airguardian]

I agree. But these aircraft are not as stealthy. Each side has his pros and cons. I just wish they never really need to battle each other.

[@farerolobos9382]

The great problem for America's arms industry, and this is true of its British counterpart too, is the corruption around most of the business. It might sound hard to believe, but in Russia, with all its endemic and chronic corruption, that dates since history is history, the government has enough control over it and supervises it in such a way that the Russian last generation of arms and war vehicles are much cheaper and more efficient than those produced in America and NATO countries. That's why lately Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan, traditionally aligned with NATO have started buying Russian arms.

These maneuvers are actually very relevant combat wise, as bogdan explained, it's not the pilot who is deliberately decelerating and doing slow speed maneuvers, but if a fight got to a low energy state because of the constant maneuvering, having this sort of slow speed control is a massive edge. Flankers are traditionally very good at high speed turning as well. Overall, a work of art of an airframe.

[@Airguardian]

Totally agree with that analysis. ;)

[@geraldc3093]

maybe in a 1 on 1 dogfight but it would have already been shot down way before this since its bvr capabilities are trash

​@@geraldc3093 R-37M: ok, but why your plane in ocean

The F-15 and especially the F-16 will beat it in a high speed turning fight (two circle dogfight). But in terms of instantaneous turn rate (one circle) the Su-27 is about equal to the F-15 and superior to the F-16 - more relevant to Fox 2 fights.

Most US weapons are too secret and those that we know are what they want us to know. I personally love this SU35S and 37. However, I think they lack the technology the US has. Zero blind spot helmets, complete interaction and HUD in helmet. Plus, I think US has some new age type shit. Plus leaks and rumors of new fighter jets in production not revealed yet.

[@Airguardian]

I assume the US is more concerned about making money out of them than nailing 'the perfect flying machine' so to speak. That said, the Raptor gets really, really close. Pitty they closed the production line.

[@MiguelRodriguez-zd6tq]

Careful research and analysis by American War mongers indicate that a fighter jet need not be this maneuverable in a combat situation. Of course, it's impressive and neat, but in combat it's not necessarily advantageous, even in close dog fight. New generation of sophisticated, maneuverable BVR missiles makes close engagements unlikely. In case of close contact, the outcome will be unpredictable, but statistically advantageous to the overall picture, ie., pilot training, weapons, engine performance, ground resources, and other technologies. That said, this jet is the benchmark for maneuverability.

[@Roger2465]

Because it's useless.. they already made versions of every American fighter with tvc. Looks nice but not a hard target when you're going 120 mph in a massive plane tumbling around while falling from the sky. Tell me how efficient this would be and how it would recover while fully loaded with fuel and weapons. It would take for ever to slow down fast enough to perform these maneuvers and even longer to regain proper airspeed if it's not shot or smacked by a missile due to going 120 mph in a massive jet while tumbling around falling from the sky.

I love that maneuver :3

[@Manguskahn]

Do you (or anyone else on here) know if said maneuver has a name? Edit: If it's unnamed, I hereby christen the maneuver the "Blin Roll"

[@jawadraza1218]

Full credit goes to Pilot. Equally good is plane. BOTH are UNMATCHED. I am also convinced that Russian pilots are more skillful than "so called" American pilots.

[@Airguardian]

And don't forget the engineers and mechanics! ;)

[@jawadraza1218]

Airguardian Yes. Sorry I forget them. The unsung heroes. Great machines comes from those great peoples.

[@Airguardian]

Yup. Without engineers and mechanics there would be no planes in the first place ;) It is really a team job of endless people. Each one does its contribution and together these beautiful machines can take to the skies and do what mankind has dreamed about since we have memory :)

[@jawadraza1218]

Airguardian Totally agree

[@keymind117]

American pilots fly on average twice as much than Russian pilots do.

Hey AIrguardian, you have a bully here, do something! This channel is way to good for this type of persons!

[@Airguardian]

Just one? hahahaha There were like 7 or 8 just today. It's sad that people feel the compulsive need to talk shit about anything russian-related that they see. Then people complains about trolls from the Kremlin. We live in an ironical world, don't we? ;)

[@njegosh1]

More than ironical, awful really! Get rid of them all. Your channel and you don't deserve this idiots!

[@Airguardian]

For instance, a guy just made a praising comment about the turks downing the russian fighter and deemed that as 'fun'. I deleted the comment and reported the user. But other 'trolls'... I just think it's better that people gets to see how stupid they are by the idiocies they say. It educates people better than plain censorship IMO. It's a price to pay that they have to litter my comment section that I am willing to pay ;)

[@njegosh1]

I agree with you, but in modern world, stupid is new sexy, it is much easier for people to accept stupid than smart and that is the problem. I am old enough to not having a problem with direct action.

Engage!

[@emmarazif2389]

Russian jets are a marvel they are proven to be extremely reliable low maintenance unlike it's American counter parts

[@leojames7331]

how the hell does it maintain lift when its pulling those manoeuvres?

[@Airguardian]

A combination of LERX / wing-body blended design improving lift at high angles of attack and abusing thrust when speed gets low to suplement lack-of-lift (or total absence of it).

[@leojames7331]

@@Airguardian Thanks. It's amazing, crazy engineering!

[@romikhan6272]

no jet can beat su 35 in terms manueribility

[@javierguillen1613]

2:25 Yo I think the aircraft broke, it isn't supposed to do that

[@Airguardian]

Hahahaha! Ooopsie! Pushed the wrong button! xDDD

[@junaantara5994]

Its can fly like an osprey but fast as lightning. I really want to see this bird evade from the enemies with this manouvere
