Can a MiG 29 do a cobra?
Cobra can be done by MiG-29 and Su-27 Although there are fighter jets such as the Saab Draken who could also do Cobras, the maneuvre can only be fully flown by MiG-29 and Su-29 variants. The aircraft reaches 90–120° angle of attack during the Cobra.

Modern fighter jets use coupled slats and flaps to improve maneuverability, to enable better turning that is vital to success in air combat, under the control of the DFCS (Digital Flight Control System).
Do fighter jets have air brakes?
Virtually all jet-powered aircraft have an air brake or, in the case of most airliners, lift spoilers that also act as air brakes. The F-15 Eagle, Sukhoi Su-27, F-18 Hornet and other fighters have an air brake located just behind the cockpit.
What are speed brakes on an aircraft?
Speedbrakes are high drag devices that are fitted to almost all high performance military aircraft as well as to some commercial aircraft types. In most cases, speedbrakes are fuselage mounted panels which, when selected by the pilot, extend into the airstream to produce drag.
What is the difference between the Su-27 and the MiG-29?
The Su-27 was design to fly escort for long distance bombers, whereas, the Mig-29 was designed for front line action. This distinction in the primary mission of the two aircrafts becomes apparent when you look e.g. at the range. More fuel means more weight, means more powerful engines, means more fuel, etc.
Does the Su-27 belong to the US Air Force?
While it is possible that the Su-27 belonged to the U.S. Air Force—and former Air Combat Command commander Gen. Hawk Carlisle, who once flew with the 4477th Test and Evaluation Group, once told me he had flown a Flanker—it might have been one of the two jets acquired from Ukraine.
Does the MiG-29 look like an F-15 Eagle?
This one is different. The fluidly beautiful MiG-29 looks like its larger twin-tail contemporary, the slab-sided F-15 Eagle, to the degree that a Bolshoi ballerina resembles a roller derby star.
What is the history of the MiG-29?
In 1972, the VVS tasked the Sukhoi bureau to build the PFI, resulting in the Sukhoi Su-27, while the Mikoyan bureau got the LFI, resulting in Mikoyan MiG-29. F-15 and F-16; image from sunketh.wordpress.com
