Su-57 crazy flying demonstration at ZhuHai Airshow 2024

During the preparations for the Zhuhai Airshow on November 9, 2024, the Russian Su-57 performed a rehearsal, with its superb flying skills causing all spectators to gasp in awe.

The pilot this time is Serghey Bogdan, who is 62 years old. He is the chief test pilot at the Sukhoi Design Bureau’s Flight Test Center. In 2011, he was awarded the titles of “Hero of Russia” and “Honored Test Pilot” by the Russian government for his outstanding performance in testing and promoting new aviation weaponry for the Russian military.

Anyone who knows about fighter jets will know how amazing of a performance this was.

That's the rehearsal? What an impressive rehearsal that was. Astonishing how it performs those maneuvers at the low speed and should I speak about that short take off? What a beautiful airplane. I love that. The best I have see so far.

一次做那么多种超机动动作在任何航展上都是非常难得一见的，

最关键，这特么还不是量产机，还是第一批次的其中一架原型机，
苏霍伊的实力还是摆在那里的。

어떻게 저렇게 하늘에서 자유로울 수 있죠? 정말 멋진 비행이네요. 직접 눈으로 봤으면 더 좋았겠네요. 멋진 비행기를 만든 엔지니어들과 멋진 비행을 보여준 조종사, 멋진 기체를 잘 관리해준 미캐닉들에게 찬사를 보냅니다.

Judge: "Mr Felon, do you know what your felony is?"
Su-57: "Not exactly, your honor."
Judge: "Breaking the laws of physics."

[saniidris]

Almost stood still in air. That's incredible. The very short take off is mind blowing

[NVC_FIT]

That’s crazy, one of the best pilotage skills, I’ve ever seen. Russian Dance in the sky, Amazing

[Gambe]

Ich fliege leidenschaftlich gerne, aber hier wurde mir schon beim zugucken fast schwindlig. Hochachtung, dem Piloten.❤

[Artemy_Kininigen]

These Russians are doing something incredible with their shovels

[Nur-mpsf]

I am no pilot expert, but this is next level. The sheer level of stability and control is mind-blowing.

[MrBryan]

Regardless of the maneuverability of the jet, this is a very experienced pilot. He/She has made this look effortless. 10/10.

[settyg]

Watching this thing fly is really unique, it looks like it totally defies physics in the air the way it cuts through the atmosphere. Insane.

Welch ein schönes und leistungsfähiges Flugzeug! Und eine gelungene Vorstellung des Piloten! Herzlichen Dank für das Video!

It's funny to read comments, such as "it's low-speed maneuverability will kills the plane in a real dog-fight!" Guys, this is just shows how powerfull and perfect-aerodynamics is has, and how mindblowing powerful its engines.

Every plane get better uplifting force than faster it moves and best of all, if it moves in "classic" position: cocpit to the sky, gears to the ground.

This plane may allow itself do any aerobatics at the speed close to the zero. Any other plane such manner just fall down as a stone, or find itself in a flat spin and crashed.

Su57 can repeat any of this maneuver at any speed, it depends more on the pilot abilitiy to withstand overloads, than the same plane constuctions abilities.

No one missile, no one other jet-fighter could repeat the same. Not even in dog-fight, just mid range air combat such maneurverability gives the Su57 pilot chance to fight on it's own rules. Immidiate change of moving vector, drammatic change of flying hight, flat turns of 360 degrees - it's just another chance to got aim-locked and shoot short-range missile. Not just spray with gun.

Jet-fighter weight is more then 25 metric tons. Full loaded - close to 35 tons, I suppose. Such hippo flying as a butterfy - it's mind-blowing.

[fabiosafe]

Did someone see the su57 just needs 50m to fly? This is incredible! This airplane is pure art.

[snarlsbarkley]

That is the most impressive jet I have ever seen. Even the most skilled pilots couldn’t accomplish that with an American or European jet. Congratulations to the brilliant engineers.

[olisk-jyrz]

Mind blowing. It looks like it's defying gravity and physics with those dead leaf maneuvers.

And on top of that, it's also beautiful both in shape and with that digital camo

[yamilandres]

5:51 how it suddenly stops, changes direction, and starts peacefully flying again... mesmerizing!

[jurassic]

My brother, a military pilot, saw this and said that the pilot is of the highest class and the machine is super, allowing the pilot to do whatever he wants.

[NatashaE]

Only Russian pilots could fly so beautifully, moving his plane is if it was as light as a feather! Bravo pilot and enjoiners!!! I am so proud of you!
