Re: Awesome aborted landing on a Russian carrier
This video has been around for a while... but I think the machines Su-27 family are simply awesome.
Their agility is comparable only to the F-22 as far as I could see... with the only difference that they are not stealth, but also don't need an average of 25h of maintenance for 1h of flight!

Re: Awesome aborted landing on a Russian carrier
As regards to the F-22, I saw this at RIAT this year and don't rate it's manoeverability compared to the typhoon, i know that this was only a demo but it looked really sluggish compared. It's still pretty good but it doesn't look like it's in the same league. Queue lots of abuse..........

I Can't comment, never saw a Typhoon. If you think the F-22 is "sluggish" compared to it though I really need to find a Typhoon demo lol

Might want to check that out, I know how bad the F-22's are on maintenance, but the Su-27's are known to go through engines at an alarming rate.james84 wrote:This video has been around for a while... but I think the machines Su-27 family are simply awesome.

Re: Awesome aborted landing on a Russian carrier
Didn't Nick Black say that when he was in the RAF at Red Flag with Typhoons, the USAF refused to have F-22 / Typhoon fly-off after the Typhoon urinated all over the F-15?
