Nothing new, but it's a cool video, especially with the red smoke showing the angle of attack so clearly.

In the last 10 yrs or so, Russia has built some unbelievable aircraft. And, they even look good. Previous years, the planes were all fugly....... I wouldn't wann get into a knifefight with any of their latest generation of vectored thrust a/c.

Yeah, they sure have.

The plane in the video is actually India's Su-30MKI. It's a joint development project between Sukhoi and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. Basic structure is an Su-30, but the MKI has canards, vectored thrust, Russia's best phased array radar, advanced avionics and other improvements. India will buy a total of ~250, and sell licensed versions to other nations. Go India!
