Unique Sukhoi Su-35 ‘UFO’ fighter rocks Paris Air Show

From YouTube:

Russia’s Sukhoi has rocked the 50th Paris Air Show at Le Bourget with the premiere of its cutting-edge Su-35 fighter. Super-maneuverable even for a Sukhoi, the Su-35 has been dubbed the “UFO” for its outstanding maneuverability. New engines enable Su-35 to perform all kinds of stunts, including Pugachev’s Cobra, the Frolov Chakra, the Dead Leaf, and the unprecedented Pancake, which is an horizontal 360-degree made turn without losing speed.

At 3:00 minutes what you saw is a combat maneuver called the “Cobra”. Invented by the Russian’s and not duplicated by any other air force including our own. It comes in handy if something is on your tail and you want to let it pass you. I do hope we do not have to face them over Syria.
