The pilots of the “Russian Knights” aerobatic group conducted unique flights performing advanced aerobatics in the skies of Kubinka, the Moscow region.

The flights were unique because advanced aerobatic maneuvers were performed on the Su-27, Su-30SM, Su-35S, currently operated by the group.

It was the first time that the three types of aircraft were in one formation.

In the air the pilots performed “sharp turns”, “oblique loops”, nose-up maneuvers and half split-s and other elements in the “bearing” formation. The program was performed at the prescribed intervals and at a distance of fewer than three meters between the planes.

In the end, the leader of the “Russian Knights” guard colonel Andrew Alekseev performed the tail-dive, barrel roll, the low-speed passage and other maneuvers demonstrating high maneuverability of the modern Su-35S multipurpose fighter.
