The incredible Cobra Manoeuvre (Pugachev's Cobra)

  • The Cobra Manoeuvre, also known as Pugachev's Cobra or Pugachev Cobra is a very spectacular, dramatic and demanding aerobatics manoeuvre in which an aircraft flew at a moderate speed suddenly raises its nose to the vertical position - and beyond - before dropping the nose back to horizontal flight. The aircraft reaches 90-120° angle of attack during the Cobra.
    The Cobra manoeuvre is named after the Soviet test pilot Viktor Pugachyov, who first performed the Cobra manoeuvre publicly in 1989 at the Paris Le Bourget air show, and shocked the Western spectators who couldn't believe it. The Soviet Union still existed at this time. However, the Cobra was first executed by Sukhoi test-pilot Igor Volk in a test flight. The classic Cobra was done using only standard aerodynamic controls. Today it is easier to be done with Vector Thrust.
    The Cobra requires very potent engines to maintain approximately a constant altitude throughout the Cobra. It has some use in close range aerial combat or dogfight - so the hunted can become a hunter by getting behind the enemy aircraft. The Cobra can be useful when a fighter jet is being pursued closely by an opponent fighter jet. By executing the Cobra manoeuvre, a pursued fighter jet may suddenly slow down to the point where the enemy aircraft may overshoot it. The aircraft is now behind and pursuing and can theoretically fire its weapons. The disadvantage is that the aircraft doing the Cobra loses a lot of speed, which makes it vulnerable.
    And it is a very impressive single demonstration flight aerobatics manoeuvre to show pilot's skills and the aircraft maneuvrability at airshows. If you have ever seen it for example at MAKS airshow in Zhukovsky near Moscow - and the reaction of the spectators - you know how popular it is. It is the perfect manoeuvre to show the pilot's skills and demonstrate an aircraft's high angle of attack (AOA) stability, the pitch control authority as well as engine-versus-inlet compatibility.
    Nowadays the Cobra can be achieved more easily with the so-called "supermaneuverability" thanks to thrust vectoring in 4.5 and 5th-generation fighter jets.

      I doubt they were really that impressed. Anyone that knows anything about aviation know that dogfights occur at longer ranges. They are not doing some damn tight formation dogfight. Plus, the pilots would know that the missiles and possibly a fuel tank strapped to the bottom of the jet would screw up the aerodynamics, and make the aircraft heavier, rendering it useless when trying to preform this maneuver. This is an airshow stunt only.

      It is true that the Chinese version of the MiG-29 can perform this maneuver. It is widely known as "General Tso's Cobra". However, NATO leaders discourage pilots from performing this maneuver in the Chinese copycat MiG-29, as the jet is likely to fall apart, as it is made from cheap parts. Also, the warranty does not cover manufacturer defects.

    I can’t imagine there is much likelihood with today’s super high tech jets that you are going to have many fighters that are going to be physically close enough to their opponent to make use of such a maneuver. Do not the vast majority of air to air combat situations presently take place with the pilots not even within sight of each other?

    • @stevesheets8653
      @stevesheets8653 3 года назад +19

      Flight training, yes. But would this ever occur in real combat against US fighters? If the planes were close to equal, our fighters would standoff at a distance, using long-range missiles to down the opponents. They would only close for near combat when the US jets have a definite advantage. In the Gulf of Sidra incident,, the F-14 had a clear advantage. After they were attacked, they used their close-range Sidewinder missiles to shoot down the Sukhoi Su-17, while they could have easily blasted them with the long-range and more expensive Phoenix missiles. All things being fair, maybe the Russian plane could use this maneuver, but you don't fight fair in a dog fight.

      When the pilot initiates this maneuver the plane climbs steeply and slows down before it stalls and the wings act as massive airbrakes.

    Person1: We currently have an abundant amount of fuel and steel, what should we do?
    Person2: Should we invest it in our airforce?
    Person1: Yeah, since this is Russia lets completely defy air combat physics and just add a feature to this plane to make it pause in mid air, and yeah make it capable to shoot backwards while flying backwards.
    Also all fighter jets are the best in their own way well let's just leave them be for their own roles and not compare them to others they can't compete with.

    OMG....This is ART at it's best..!! Incredible footage and skills....and maybe the best part of it is the fact that it's Russian pilots who stills dominate the air when it comes to those crazy over human skills in a fighter jet. Ohh...but i do also love all other pilots out there, who are capable of such skills. Cheers from Denmark.

    First "Cobra Manoeuvre" I saw was an EE Lightning display back in the 60s at low level. Came across the field, stood it on its tail, set fire to the grass, then brought the nose down and resumed level flight

      To stall an aircraft would have to have wings. The Lightning does not have wings, instead it has pylons to keep the nav lights apart.
