IAF su30mki cockpit view flying in formation with mig-29k,jaguars & USN f18 over IOR #indianairforce

An IAF Su-30mki aka FlankerH wso cockpit view of the formation flying over the uss Ronald Reagan in recently concluded joint exercise by IAFs su-30mki & jaguars,INS naval Air arm mig-29k and USN f-18s.

Fact check:
Seen here are mig-29k flanked by a Su-30mki flying in a vic formation lead by USN f-18.

They can be seen here in levelled flight which is like a normal flight and normal force of 1G is acting on pilots here even when they go supersonic upto .9 Mach there is only some hinderance or some turbulence which is felt but after that it's a smooth ride and it's hardly noticeable to the person flying,

Fighter pilots pull upto 9+ Gs in terms of gravity force over their bodies when they perform some high G maneuvers in air including high speed and AOA turns and maneuvers hence they need to keep themselves very fit as it's very much possible to black out or loose consciousness which is called the G-LOC(gravity induced loss of consciousness) during those maneuvers and there have been numerous cases of mishaps happened due to that .

So pilots practice AGSM(anti G straining maneuvers) to counter that means they tighten the muscles of their lower body (including abs,calfs,thighs and squeeze every part of the lower body).
Hence they train for it alot and keep themselves fit,

Apart from that Hyderation of the body before a sortie is very important dehyderated body of only 3 % can reduce G tolerance of a pilot by 30% and more.
