We've just turn the radar on and will try to discover our target.
Officer of control center is leading us to dogfight positions, to distance between us of 45-50 kilometers
I should notice, that the officer of Control Center was leading us to a better position, in real conditions to be in the tail of SU27 is possible only if the enemy doesn't know about you.
But this is the training fight and the pilot of SU27 was waiting for the beginning of the fight
We hope we'll be able to reach him and win the fight.
Virtually, conditionally, but we will try to show all flight abilities of the bomber SU34.
We've chosen SU27 because in real conditions, SU34 will fight against fighters which have similar characteristics as fighter SU27 has
More realistic training will give more effectiveness in real fight
We've received the command:"Charge!". We are seeing our target, and now real air dogfight is beginning!.
I'm seeing ahead the plane SU27, we are reaching him from behind.
After the command "Charge", we are behaving in a cat-and-mouse way.
G-force is 5! We are catching him up!
We have the task to catch him up, our opponent has the task to escape from a pursuit.
Go,go,go,go!
But it's not enought just to pursuit the enemy, we need to take right position before firing.
Turn to the target, once more, that's all, the target is in a sight
Here, it is very important to fix right position for our plane - if we hit the target, the splinter from the explosion must not to harm our fuselage or the engines.
It's really amazing , friends, such big and heavy plane like frontline bomber SU37 can compete with fighter like SU27, and is able to destroy it.
Now, we are very close to SU27
Pilots who can conduct a full air battle, are undisputable experts. That's why, simple, from the first sight, game is real intelligent duel.
If it was real fight, we could several times hit the plane of our opponent.
But this is just a training, so we are going to make new maneuvers.
Pilot of that plane is very naiv and he thinks, he is able to run away from us, but it's impossible, because we are sitting in the supermodern avation comlex - SU34.
He is trying to go up from us to the sky, but he will not be able to escape from us.
Rita (automatic speech informant) (Woman's name): Engle of attack - overload! Engle of attack - overload!
And again the target was hit!
- How to you feel yourself Dima? - I feel well!
I never felt something like this, when in front of you is supermodern fighter, and you are able to reach it and hit, it's fantastic.
- Explain me please, is that right - SU34 has no opponent whom he is not able to fight against ?
I would better to say - what we've just done was maneuverable air dogfight, but at the same time in real fight all this would be very difficult to do against SU27.
Characteristics of these planes are very much similar, but SU27 is much more lighter, and that reason gives him better Thrust-to-Weight-ratio.
Better Thrust-to-Weight-ration means faster climbi up and speed up, and all these mean better maneuverability.
But during sudden attack SU34 is able to fight practically against any fighter
THAT'S ALL, we are landing!
