The Su-30SM has an outstanding capability to turn in a dime and reverse the direction of flight (hence the funny title), but jokes aside, the way this jet manages to just turn around in the air at the whim of the pilot is simply mind-boggling. Much more so when the plane is doing that just bare 100m above your head, roaring with full afterburner for almost 15 min straight!

Maybe this is the plane equivalent to the God of Mischief and Misdirection... wouldn't surprise me if there was a parallel universe where a Loki variant assumed this form, LMAO.

This flight demonstration was performed at the MAKS Airshow in Russia by Irkut corporation test pilots, and in a single performance they included a mind-boggling formation tailslide, close-coupled formation flight, take-off and landing, high energy bleed WVR dogfight mockup and plenty of post-stall solo maneuvers to make your head go boom.

By the way, the pilots (Vyacheslav and Evgeniy Averyanov / Вячеслав и Евгений Аверьянов) are father and son respectively, and are accompanied by a couple of pilots from the Russian fleet of Naval Aviation (Авиация Военно-морского флота России).

The Su-30SM multirole fighter aircraft (Сухой Су-30CM; NATO reporting name: Flanker-H; SM stands for production, modernized) was developed by JSC Sukhoi Design Bureau for the Russian Air Force. It is an advanced derivative of the Su-30MK combat aircraft family. It is designed both to gain air superiority and engage ground and surface targets. The aircraft uses canard surfaces and TVC (thrust vector control) engines, a combination that allows the aircraft to perform post-stall, high angle of attack maneuvers that very few fighter jets can match. Its available weapons include a wide range of air-to-air missiles and precision-guided air-to-ground munitions as well as a large-caliber automatic cannon. Being a bi-seater, the Su-30SM can also be used to train pilots to fly advanced single-seat fighter jets. These aircraft have been in production for the Russian Air Force since 2012. The first SU-30SM performed its maiden flight on 21 September 2012.

The 30SM is a specialised version of the thrust-vectoring Su-30MKI and MKM export variants that have been adapted and further modernized for use within the Russian military. It is produced by the Irkut Corporation. Russia's Defence Ministry was impressed with the MKI's envelope and performance so 30 Su-30SMs were ordered for the Russian Air Force in early 2012. A contract for 60 more of the multirole fighter was signed later on. Russia currently has 80 jets of the type in service within its military and some have already seen action for the first time in Syria.

The Su-30SM is considered as 4+ generation fighter jet. The new version has been upgraded based on Russian military requirements for radar, radio communications systems, friend-or-foe identification system,  global positioning and inertial navigation systems, ejection seats, weapons, and other aircraft systems. The aircraft is equipped with the Bars-R radar and a wide-angle HUD. The airframe of Su-30SM is made of titanium and high-strength aluminium alloys. The nose of the fuselage houses cockpit, radar sections and avionics bay. The glass cockpit accommodates two pilots in tandem configuration. The open architecture design also allows the integration of further modernized avionics in the future. The Su-30SM is powered by two AL-31FP by-pass turbofan reheated engines that provide a maximum unrefuelled flight range of 3,000km. The aircraft is also equipped with a flight refuelling probe and system.
