Su-57 pulls a ‘COME AT ME, BRO’ move mid-air.

About this video

Max analyzes footage of a Su-57 fighter jet performing advanced aerial maneuvers, including what he describes as a ‘static leaf’ or ‘falling leaf’ move. He explains that such maneuvers, which showcase extreme nose authority, are not capabilities found in fourth-generation fighters like the F-14 or F-16. Max discusses tactical responses a fourth-generation pilot might employ, such as maintaining energy and altitude while the Su-57 performs these maneuvers, then attempting to position behind it.

Key takeaways

• Max states that the Su-57 demonstrates nose authority and maneuverability not seen in fourth-generation fighters
• Max suggests that a fourth-generation pilot’s best tactical response is to maintain energy and altitude, letting the Su-57 ‘do its thing,’ then attempting to roll in behind it
• Max describes the maneuver as a ‘static leaf’ or ‘falling leaf’ move, distinct from a cobra maneuver
