MAKS 2013 - MiG-29 OVT crazy maneuverability! [Remastered] - HD 50fps

Well, here goes another old pearl that I wanted to re-upload with better video rendering quality and edition processing.

This is without any kind of doubt the most radical flying routine performed with a fighter jet that I have ever witnessed in person. And of course, the pilot at the controls is no other than MiG legendary test pilot Mikhail Belyaev (Михаил Беляев)!

I recently received some comments on my channel saying that the SU-35S is the most aerobatic flying machine out there but honestly, the MiG-29OVT with thrust vectoring nozzles is at the very least, up-to-par with it. Of course that's just a single prototype and didn't enter service but I imagine that a MiG-35 with Thrust Vector Control would be just as mind-boggling and 'UFO' - 'physics-defying' beast as some like to point :)

The Mikoyan MiG-29 (Микоян МиГ-29; NATO reporting name: Fulcrum) is a twin-engine jet fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union. Developed by the Mikoyan and Gurevich design bureau as an air superiority fighter during the 1970s, the MiG-29, along with the larger Sukhoi Su-27, was developed to counter new American fighters such as the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, and the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. The MiG-29 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1982.

While originally oriented towards combat against any enemy aircraft, many MiG-29s have been furnished as multirole fighters capable of performing a number of different operations, and are commonly outfitted to use a range of air-to-surface armaments and precision munitions. The MiG-29 has been manufactured in several major variants, including the multirole Mikoyan MiG-29M and the navalised Mikoyan MiG-29K; the most advanced member of the family to date is the Mikoyan MiG-35. Later models frequently feature improved engines, glass cockpits with HOTAS-compatible flight controls, modern radar and IRST sensors, and considerably increased fuel capacity; some aircraft have also been equipped for aerial refuelling.

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the militaries of a number of former Soviet republics have continued to operate the MiG-29, the largest of which is the Russian Air Force. The MiG-29 has also been a popular export aircraft; more than 30 nations either operate or have operated the aircraft to date, India being one of the largest export operators of the type. As of 2018, the MiG-29 is in production by Mikoyan, a subsidiary of United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) since 2006.

The MiG-29 OVT prototype version is one of the six pre-built MiG-29Ms before 1991 that later received thrust vectoring engines and fly-by-wire technology. It served as a thrust-vectoring engine testbed and technology demonstrator in various air shows to show future improvement in the MiG-29M. It has identical avionics to the MiG-29M. The only difference in the cockpit layout is an additional switch to turn on vector thrust function. The two RD-133 thrust-vectoring engines, each features unique 3D rotating nozzles which can provide thrust vector deflection in all directions. However, despite its thrust-vectoring, other specifications were not officially emphasized. The aircraft has been demonstrated along with the MiG-29M2 in various air shows around the world for potential export. The aircraft is usually used as an aerobatic demonstrator.

Man do I hate people comparing this to a raptor or new gen planes, this is the one of the best planes for pilots to fly and have fun, and leave us stunned and jaw dropped with achievements of engineering and flying. I do not want to see this plane in a fight, I wana see it doing stuff like this, just as ww2 planes

One of the best performances I have ever seen!
He did cobra maneuver with this Mig 29 even better than SU 35!
Amazing!

Russians have perfected the aero dynamics, they challenge the physics with there awesome designes (mikoyan and sukhoi) .. just see how they fly in sky, it's a treat to watch and hats off to the pilots who perform these aerobatics...love from india

MERAVIGLIOSO - STUPEFACENTE - UN MARZIANO tra omuncoli. E che dire dell'aereo? Impressionante.

Phantastisch! Ein Flugzeug aus den 80'ern und immer noch ein Ritt mit dem "Teufel"!

I use to execute these manneuvers perfectly with my cropduster, of course I was six and my plane was a plastic Dusty Crop Hopper. Just saying...

Like one Russian pilot said, we try to break our planes and if they do we know what needs fixing, lol. 😂

С детства мечтал подняться в небо на реактивном истребителе... К сожалению, этому не суждено было сбыться. С одной стороны, мне грустно от этого, но с другой, я чрезвычайно рад, что есть те, кто осуществили такую же мечту и теперь показывают нам такое зрелище. Это необычайно красиво и вдохновляюще! Низочайший поклон пилотам!

Around the 2:00 mark is insane. It looks like a model but it's not, crazy maneuvers. Very cool!
