International In an interesting twist a Russian made Mig-29 being flown in formation with US F-16's

I saw an SU-35 perform the "Cobra" maneuver when I was at the Paris Air Show back in the 90's

IIRC the critique it gets is mostly unjustified.
(Critique mainly being that the US should just have left the warthog and all other dogfighters except the F-22 in their roles, instead of having the F-35 replace most of them.)

Warthog is being left alone. In fact, it is about to get major upgrades including advanced stand-off weapons.
