The standard SU-27 does NOT have thrust vectoring. The SU-30, 35 are not in full scale production yet and when they do go into full production thrust vectoring will be an option for some of them. The Mig-29ovt is a technology demonstrator only and is not in full scale production.
That's what I am talking about. As of now they have 0 production super manuverability aircraft in active service. All the aircraft they have with that capability right now are technology demonstrators only with a handfull of excamples flying.
"There is no strict set of guidelines an aircraft must meet or features it must have in order to be classified as supermaneuverable. However, as supermaneuverability itself is defined, an aircraft capable of performing maneuvers that are considered to be impossible using only aerodynamic maneuverability are evidence of an aircraft's supermaneuverability. Such maneuvers include Pugachev's Cobra and the Herbst maneuver (sometimes referred to as the "J-turn", but this term is ambiguous as it is also used in stunt driving on land).
However, some aircraft are capable of performing Pugachev's Cobra without the aid of features that normally provide post-stall maneuvering such as thrust vectoring. Advanced generation 4 and 4.5 fighters such as the Su-27 (which was the aircraft first used to execute the maneuver) and MiG-29 and their variants such as the Su-33 have been documented as capable of performing this maneuver using normal engines."wiki
So..Su-27 in service with thrust vectoring and w/o
Su-30 MKI (thrust vectoring) and its variants are already in Indian,Russian,chinese air forces
Su-35 status shows(in production)?
And mig 29ovt...i was wrong
Still,little reseach now and then....maybe?
