This aircraft employs the latest thrust vectoring and computer stabilized controls. Watch the little front canard wings and the movement of the tailplane when the plane lands.

Very cool, I noticed at the end, it does the cobra maneuver, its a staple in the Russian air shows, because there isn't an American fight jet in existence that can perform that maneuver, without stalling. I don't think we can underestimate the Russian Air Force anymore, they have money to invest in technology, and their pilots are extremely well trained.

Can you park it outside and fix it with a screwdriver like most Russian equipment? The American plan is too heavy on bells and whistles. High tech gadgets aren't efficient in sticks 'n' stones battles and wars of attrition.
