MAKS Airshow ✈️ Su-30SM, The Flying UNO Reverse Card!!

The Su-30SM has an outstanding capability to turn in a dime and reverse the direction of flight (hence the funny title), but jokes aside, the way this jet manages to just turn around in the air at the whim of the pilot is simply mind-boggling. Much more so when the plane is doing that just bare 100m above your head, roaring with full afterburner for almost 15 min straight! Maybe this is the plane equivalent tyo the God of Mischief and Misdirection... wouldn’t surprise me if there was a parallel universe where a Loki variant assumed this form, LMAO. This flight demonstration was performed at the MAKS Airshow in Russia by Irkut corporation test pilots, and in a single performance they included a mind-boggling formation tailslide, close-coupled formation flight, take-off and landing, high energy bleed WVR dogfight mockup and plenty of post-stall solo maneuvers to make your head go boom.
