Su-35 ✈️ The Real #Checkmate!

Показать описание
MAKS 2021 Airshow is going on in Russia and this year UAC/Sukhoi have presented a new fighter aircraft, dubbed the #Checkmate, a lightweight, thrust vectoring single engine fighter aircraft aimed at competing with and surpassing the capabilities of the american F-35 by virtue of being faster, flying further, being stealthier and... cheaper (among others). ( :

The new Checkmate (Su-75 apparently?) design is quite interesting, featuring a delta planform layout (no canards) with full-flying V-Tail stabs. It also features a quite uncommon chin inlet design that reminds of the X-32.

That's all cool and well... but we know who the REAL CHECKMATE is, don't we? :DDD

The Su-35 remains as the absolute aerobatic queen-beast of the skies and has win our hearts time and time again with the utmost crazy, UFO-like, physics-defying flight displays and post-stall stunts... so, the bar is raised high for the new jet to try and conquer it!

What do you think, will the new fighter live up to the PR hype? Maybe it does... but for the time being, I know which jet I consider the master of the chessboard!
If the #checkmate is a Knight, then the Su-35 may well be the Queen! ;)

On the video we can see Sukhoi test pilot Yuriy Vaschuk at the controls of the Su-35S, yet again performing an unearthly flight demo filled with extreme post-stall aerobatics that seem designed to bully Newtonian physics!

The Sukhoi Su-35 (Сухой Су-35; NATO reporting name: Flanker-E) is the designation for two separate, heavily-upgraded derivatives of the Su-27 air-defence fighter. They are twin-engine, single-seater, highly-maneuverable fighter aircraft, designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and built by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association.

The first variant (not a Loki... or maybe?) was designed during the 1980s as an upgrade of the Su-27, and was initially known as the Su-27M. This derivative made use of canards and had a multi-function radar that transformed the aircraft into a multi-role fighter jet. It was also structurally reinforced to support its heavier weight. The first prototype made its maiden flight in June 1988. The aircraft did not enter mass production at the time due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and therefore Sukhoi re-designated the aircraft later on as Su-35 to attract export orders. At the same time, the fourteen aircraft initially produced were used for tests and exhibitions; one example had thrust-vectoring engines installed, and the resultant Su-37 was used as a technology demonstrator.

In 2003, Sukhoi embarked on a second modernization of the Su-35 to serve as an interim aircraft awaiting the development of the Sukhoi PAK-FA (Su-57, previously T-50) program. Also known as Su-35, this derivative had a redesigned and highly modernized cockpit as well as an improved weapons-control system, it also featured thrust-vectoring engines (AL-41F1S, formerly AL-117S) in place of the omitted canards. The airbrake was gone and it used aerodynamic rudder brakes. The type made its first flight in February 2008. Although the aircraft was designed for export, the Russian Air Force in 2009 became the launch customer of the aircraft, the production version of which is the currently designated Su-35S.

the SU 27 airframe was already ahead of its time in terms of aerodynamics, this is the ultimate version of that, listen to that roar dear lord...

Been going to air shows for many years and seen many amazing aircraft. Saw the MiG 29 OVT at Farnborough a few years ago and thought it was phenomenal, but saw the SU-35 at MAKS and it was unbelievable! ❤️ To 🇷🇺 from 🇬🇧

Remarkable display with a cameraman to do it justice. I have watched all the greatest military jets in the world perform numerous times, the Su-35 simply stands alone at the zenith. Performance and maneuverability that stagger the mind. 👏🏼

Beautiful. I will never grow tired of seeing SUs gracefully dance through the sky as no other aircraft can.

Man, the Su-27 and all its variants are the most beautiful planes ever made. US planes are effective but they all have a utilitarian style about them. The Su-27 and variants by comparison are sleek and beautiful. The body and wing surfaces blend together beautifully. The proportions of nose to wings to tail are aesthetically appealing. The slight downward curve of the nose makes it look like a bird of prey. Etc etc, I could go on.

I love how clear and close your videos are dude, you can see the thrust vectoring at work. Great work!!
And 3:35 that tight half loop into a back flip and round into a inverted pirouette ending in a kobra🤯🤯

Now just waiting for the salty American comments🤣🤣

Well HECK YEAH!! This is a DANG GOOD looking aircraft with some awesome abilities!! Keep up the GREAT work good sir! Much respect and support from Yuma, AZ. 👍👍

what's interesting about the su-75 checkmate is during an interview (with uac head? chief designer? i dont remember who) it was stated that it will use a "first stage engine" of the 14.5-16t class, a variant of existing in-use engine. this confirms that a further developed variant of al-41 series is going to get up to 16t class trust, 3d tvc and stealth serrated nozzle. now imagine that on su-35sm and su-30sm2~
