Russian Military Aircraft, the Soviet fighter jets are some of the most
advanced jet airplanes in the world. Russian Military Aircraft like the Su-37
are experimental forward swept wing designs analogous to our X-29 Saberbat. Other Russian fighter jets such as the Su-27 can reach angles of attack of
120 degrees, which means the aircraft is actually flying backward, while
still being able to recover and maintain control. This maneuver is
commonly preformed at air shows and is called the "Cobra". Russian
fighter jets like these can perform maneuvers that no other aircraft can perform.
