A visitor from - posted Sat February 18, 2012: It's not Cobra, this is "Kolokol" ("Bell") anti-missle attack maneuver: the plane hangs for a few seconds at highest point and begins to fall nozzles down. After turn over the Su begins a normal flight as we see at this amazing photo. But looks like crash, in case there was a couple of Su.

Oleg, how in the world did you ever manage to get your camera in vertical format and still get all of this in the frame? Amazing! As a matter of fact.....all of your photographs are amazing! (That shot of An-225 in the huge thunderstorm for instance!) And now this.....Amazing!
