To think that once upon a time pictures like these would have had to be taken with a Minox camera (probably with a grívennik coin in one intake to help calculate the dimensions) and smuggled out of the country by diplomatic courier...

Or you had Fighter jets following you in wing tip distance...

No problem, as long as you can think in Russian.

Russian PAK FA Fifth Generation Fighter Performs Spin Maneuver

08.08.2015

The newest Russian jet fighter was caught on camera smoothly performing the famous spin maneuver.

The video published by the TV channel Zvezda shows a PAK FA prototype easily decelerate to 0 kmh and perform a spin without a flaw.

As for maneuvering capabilities, the T-50 is considered to have absolutely no rivals both among its Russian-made predecessors and foreign competitors.

For a regular jet fighter, there is nothing special in performing some aerobatic maneuvers. However, the PAK FA is capable of performing them all, including Nesterov’s loop, tailside, barrel roll, and even cobra.

According to test pilots, at least two-three new maneuvers are being designed for the PAK FA.
