This is the much balleyhoo'd "Russian Fighter Jet Of The Future"???
The Russians are in deep doo doo if they bring that tuna can into battle.

It seems as though its engines cut out, the tail struck the ground slightly and touched off a fire in the engine. The pilot obviously thought it had the juice to try it, right? Regardless, this jet seems to be on par with most other Gen IV fighters in the world...and lightyears behind our F-22.

I have seen a high powered single engine prop handle more than this jet was capable of. Near vertical take off and all. We have a crappy little airfield out here that supports a few crop dusters and local enthusiasts. One of them has a pretty amazing little plane. He flies it in the CAF Airsho.

If you're talking about something along the lines of the Redbull racing airplanes, then yes it will generally demonstrate better maneuverability than a heavy naval fighter such as the Su-33. However, the Su-33 will forever out pace those aircraft in every other area.

This was just a stupid mistake done by a pilot who probably got a little too cocky, we don't really know the video doesn't show all too much. But do not place the restrictions of the human operator on the machine itself. The Su-33 is a very formidable aircraft maybe not much competition for an F-22, but everything else is in trouble or at least will break a sweat.

'cuse me?
The aircraft in question is not a MiG-29. It is an Su-33, as has already been stated. I've never seen a craft outside of 4th gen able to successfully perform a copra maneuver either. Do elaborate.

It's not a MiG at all.

It's a Su-33 Flanker Naval variant.

Not only denoted by the size of the aircraft, its profile, and it's canards, but also denoted by its paint scheme.

A little something to help you with identification:

Where the hell are you getting "MiG" from? That is not a MiG, do I have to get pictures? A baby could tell the difference between a Sukhoi and a MiG! Good lord.

That's called my engine caught on fire, lets try to fix it. Snap we can't, eject.
No, it wasn't the afterburner trying to jump back, that was just, the engine is on fire.

In according to what has been reported by some News Agencies like Reuters, Itar Tass and Associated Press, it was a Sukhoi-30 MK.

Nope, as posted above, Su-30's don't have the front nozzles. 33's do. That craft isn't a 30 as reported, looks like it at first, but after you get a top bottom look, you can see it.
