Su-30 MKM thrust vectoring nozzles

[Flakehome]

I just realised now how big modern Fighter jets are

Thank you for sharing. Would it be alright if I included this footage in my upcoming episode? I’ll ensure full credit is given in both the video and the description. Many thanks!

Why do they go diagonally instead of straight up and down?

[JishyFishyX]

These are Saturn AL-31FP Jet Engines..

[vandanakumari]

We too have a very similar variant su-30mki in iaf

Algorithm is telling me the update is soon imminent.

While a few new jets can drift through post stall maneuvers, only the F22 can snap in and out of them quickly. This is due to the 2D vectoring nozzles. Large round 3D nozzles cannot be deflected nearly as far as 2 independently moving paddles which squeeze the exhaust into a thin slit, deflecting it at extreme angles for much greater control authority. The obvious stealth advantages are just a side benefit.

US was used 3D thrust vectorizing on F15 in 88th. Just reading the history. And if they did not use it in F22 does not mean that they could not just fuck not.

this is true thrust vectoring for all the Lockheed-Martin fanboys who think F-22 had thrust vectoring LOL - i remember one time i was watching a show on the American channel called "Discovery Military" and they just play propaganda video one after another for mostly USA equipment but also for NATO equipment and talk down Soviet machines and now Russian machines as well as Chinese, Indian etc machines and the woman who was narrating the show said "F-22 has engines that every other plane just wishes it could have" and i LOL'd so hard because it is not even true TV technology and it was stolen from an 80s design that was going to be upgraded to the Su-27 next generation which is now Su-50 or PAK FA.

Less vectoring angles than i thought this bird had.

[LeoMkII]

I had heard they were large, but not downright gigantic

Imagine people are comparing 4+ gen fighter to a 5th gen lol

[arahok]

the advantage of a circle nozzle is that all the power is focused in the center, is pure performance, so, there are almost nothing of thrust loss, f22 for example had some huge mistakes, how the nozzle is a single point event flag, all the power are wasted to the sides, it increase the stability, but waste thrust 80% to more, that is why f22 lose a lot of speed when he pull up... the fix can be simple, if they invert the type, being a 2 point event flag, all the power would be focused in the center, not as the circle nozzle, but still would be better than 1-point.

Damn, the size of those nozzles just to house unnecessary (albeit genius at the time of its conception in the late 90's) mechanical linkages, sure makes for a mighty fine thermal picture for those pesky AIM-9X's... I'm not a pilot, i don't design planes, nor was I in the military, however, I do have common sense. Unless im wrong, and every Russian TV Fighter Jet has a dude with a bucket of ice hanging off the vertical stabs... if that's the case, good on ya Russia, lolz

[SomeRandomGuy-hbyv]

Some people in the comments have pretty high standards for this thing.

@faizyusof94 Pugachev's Cobra maneuver

[Pyedr]

Those synch very poorly with the control surfaces compared to the F-22. That's got to matter.

[DamplyDoo]

So advanced they made 10 of them, and now cannot make any more

[bestamerica]

'
what wrong with this videocamera movey too much

[Kosackk]

I do not want to see Russian planes on american soil ever again, have i made myself clear?
