So depressing how far the SA defence forces have fallen. We used to be top, top class.

Guest pilot: "But what if something goes wrong?" Pilot who signed the plane out: "Don't worry - ejection seat very effective..." 🤣🤣🤣

Excellent interview, can you add subtitles please?

@zilla11547 3 года назад

small correction: 709 is not a Su-32 but it is actually a Su-27M (Su-35) It is a modernised single seat Su-27 with canards but NO thrust vectoring (711 got the thrust vectoring engines and was redesignated Su-37). The Su-35 designation got reused for the modernised Su-27 variant that is being produced today.

yep...but the Su-35 is not the "modernized" Su-27, it is a completely new AC - Su-35BM.

What a great interview! Watching the Cheetahs fly always made me want to be a fighter pilot. Sadly, that never happened though. I really hope the Cheetah will be added to DCS some day.

Ask Cobus about the SAAF Mirage F1 fitted with a Russian Klimov RD-33 engine.... The French said it was not possible to fit this engine into a Mirage F1 frame...

The Russian engine MTBF was too short. After 800 hrs it need an overhaul. I was doing n avionics course for the Cheetah D when the Russians were working at the Atlas factory. Those guys drunk a lot....the empty bottles were outside their rooms every morning. Good times.

Too bad he didn't mention the score. It was supposedly 4:0 for Pugachov :))

@alankucar8025 3 года назад

Su-32 was part of the Su-34 programme and was a side by side two seater, not a single seater.

@andresgarcia7757 3 года назад

can't blame him for the wrong designation, the su-27 family designations requiere a book by itself.

I know three pilots is this picture far left, next is Rankin and thirt for left look like Capt De Beer. Col Johan Rankin was our OC at 87 CFS Pietersburg.
