Russia's views on the F-22 flying display at Farnborough
The Russians came to Farnborough, watched Paul Moga flew the F-22 during the flying display segment and they are not impressed.

Su-30MKi/MKA/MKM project manager Aleksandr Barkovsky said what he saw the F-22 carry out at the airshow has been done by the Su-30 ten years before that.

He said the Raptor pilot only attempted its flat-spin recovery three-third of the 360-degree arc while the Flanker does that 2-3 seconds after the flat-spin.
