Video: Unique Sukhoi Su-35 'UFO' fighter rocks Paris Air Show

[2054172]

Russia's Sukhoi has rocked the 50th Paris Air Show at Le Bourget with the premiere of its cutting-edge Su-35 fighter. Super-maneuverable even for a Sukhoi, the Su-35 has been dubbed the "UFO" for its outstanding maneuverability. New engines enable Su-35 to perform all kinds of stunts, including Pugachev's Cobra, the Frolov Chakra, the Dead Leaf, and the unprecedented Pancake, which is an horizontal 360-degree made turn without losing speed.

This is one neat fighter.

It is indeed beautiful. Bbut not a 5th generation fighter.
I read somewhere that the MIGs 29 in Germany and India had reliabilty problems and high(er) maintenance costs. More then the Western aircrafts in these air forces. Perhaps Sukhoi's are better?
