See the 3rd Fighter on this clip near an Aircraft Carrier.
Never seen anything like it in my Aviation Life.

There is some impressive flying going on there.

The 3rd "cobra manoeuvre" clip is a little strange though. The aircraft looks like a Russian SU-33 (based on the canards) however the aircraft carrier is a
US Nimitz class, looks like CVN-75 Harry S. Truman. Could it be a clip from a game or a flight sim?

The Migs have had tail stall for a while, the idea is you can drop to near ground level and use valleys or trees to drop incoming air threats or just to drop off the radars.

French airshow 1989 had a Mig-29 showing off when it suffered bird strike. The Mig's have a self correcting ejection seat, which the west didn't have or know the Russian had, that managed to correct the ejection from only 50 odd feet and let the pilot ejected safely.

That's a pretty cool feature.
