Is the su 27 the only fighter jet that can do the Cobra maneuver?

>mirage
you mean this crabro?

youtube.com/watch?v=PMlY-AqYZ0c

well, i mean it did do it then crashed lmao

>typhoon
>single engine
based retard

name one other single engine jet in service that can do that.
Protip: you can't

The Cobra maneuver is irrelevant in combat, it's only purpose is demonstrating what a fighter jet does without FCS and looking good at airshows.

Attempting to do a cobra maneuver during combat would probably result in the pilot getting himself killed by the enemy or ripping his wings off.

Wrong. Thrust vectored F-16 NASA has could do it.

>Attempting to do a cobra maneuver during combat would probably result in the pilot getting himself killed by the enemy or ripping his wings off.
Pffft, the soviets sneezed at airshows where the Cobra-maneuver didn't kill at least 30 bystanders

>name one other single engine jet in service that can do that.
F-35. Draken. Pretty sure the Gripen can do it.

the Draken yes. But it's not in service

>F-35, Gripen
I don't think you know what a cobra maneuver is. What is written on a youtube title is not always true.

Now you’re being a nit picky little fuck.
It doesn’t actually matter what aircraft can do it, since it’s a maneuver entirely useless outside of airshows

>f35 can do a cobra

that fat shit cant even do a proper j turn let alone a cobra

>Attempting to do a cobra maneuver during combat would probably result in the pilot getting himself killed by the enemy or ripping his wings off.

based armchair engineer doesnt understand aerobraking

actually, I've sen an ITAR restricted video of the f35 and f22 doing the cobra maneuver.
I've also seen unrestricted climbs of both.
f22 is retarded fast and the f35 does very well.
there's a reason not a single pilot has complained about the Pratt F135s power.

Plus 2 variable bypass engines are being developed for the f35.
target thrust is 55,000 lbs

No.

Unfortunately the Cobra maneuver is completely worthless anywhere other than an airshow.

based armchair nigger doesn't understand modern air combat

t. ivan

NONE of those can do it.

Could we equip fighters with cold gas thrusters to increase their maneuverability?

>modern combat

literally makes a dumbfunded statement that doesnt reflect reality at all then goes on sayings
HURR DURR MODERN COMBAT

if IF the situation has gone to the point of a dogfight a cobra man is on the table

>dogfight
>cobra maneuver
>bleeding all of your energy for a potential snapshot

That's such a massive gamble that it might as well be suicide.

>IF the situation has gone to the point of a >dogfight
Has not happened since the 80s.
and even then, that Air to air battle was 14 miles apart.
close air to air hasn't been a thing since Nam.

a f22 pilot explained this in a video.
if a US pilot gets within visual range of another jet they have fucked beyond all reason.

You're retarded. Go back to play Ace Combat 7.

In theory, sure why not. In practice, no. Real life isn't KSP. Monopropellant, especially cold gas thrusters, have dogshit ISP and thrust.

A better idea I'd think is to play with the aircraft's trim. Move the weight toward the back when you want to turn sharp, move it forward when flying straight. The further back the center of mass is, the sharper you can turn.

I don't know if I'd call it a proper dogfight, but the recent downing of a Syrian SU22 by a USN FA18E was at a range of less than a mile.

what about hydrazine like superdracos or that new green propellant?

Kek

>cyka blyats into the crowd

Others "can" do it, but the Russian maneuver is more impressive.

is the Cobra Maneuver where you get drunk on vodka and crash into the people at an air show?

f35

Love the shilling over a airshow maneuver....

>>>> The maneuver is named after the Soviet test pilot Viktor Pugachev, who performed it in 1989 at the Le Bourget Paris air show.[1] But Igor Volk was the first Soviet pilot who tested[when?] aircraft behavior at high super-critical angles of attack (around 90°) and performed aerobatics such as the "cobra" maneuver.[3] However, decades prior to this, Swedish pilots in the Saab J35 Draken performed a visually similar maneuver as a training routine while learning how to best recover from a so called "super stall", which had plagued the early years of that aircraft.

Examples of aircraft capable of the maneuver

Production aircraft
Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor[7]
Sukhoi Su-27[1] and variants (Su-30/Su-30MKI/Su-30MKM, Su-33, Su-34, Su-35,[8] Su-37 and Shenyang J-11)
Sukhoi Su-57[9]
Mikoyan MiG-29A [10][11]
Mikoyan MiG-29M OVT[12] and Mikoyan MiG-35
Saab 35 Draken [13]
Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II [14] [15][16]
Experimental aircraft
Rockwell-MBB X-31
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 HARV
McDonnell Douglas F-15 STOL/MTD
General Dynamics F-16 VISTA
Sukhoi Su-47
Chengdu J-10 (J-10B TVC Demonstrator variant)

Essentially the Soviets did it publicly and everyone named it for the pilot. Technically the Swedes should have named it but it was just a training technique, nothing really impressive.

So called "Cobra maneuver" are stupid, ridiculous, unsafe, idiot, foolish, stupid and can't do shit against AMERICAN professionalism, AMERICAN skills. Even one 20mm shot from AMERICAN piloted aircraft can kill every fools who tried this maneuver or any enemies tries to fight against the will of AMERICA. See this stupid plane? Fancy dance won't save her from Sidewinder on her ass.

Knock Knock, its the FBI.

Maneuverability in manned fighter aircraft isn't a huge problem. Both the F-22 and F-35 are aerodynamically capable of performing maneuvers that exceed the G threshold required for a human pilot to stay conscious. The bigger issue is not stalling out and losing all your energy. Any kind of RCS maneuvering would mostly just radically increase your angle of attack and slow you down severely.

You literally know nothing about energy management and acm

Watch any show or documentary about dogfights. Conserving airspeed is a key concept in most dogfights. The person who loses all their momentum first usually loses. Yes a cobra maneuver might let you make a quick shot with a IR missile. But if you don't make that shot you are probably dead. And if you do make that shot you are probably a sitting duck for your target's wingman.
