You are right but some points need clarifications.You're going to break a radar lock... by presenting the entire unstealthy underside of an SU-35 to an oncoming radar guided missile?
The Cobra maneuver has been cited as a potential countermeasure to Doppler radars, which have difficultly tracking objects with near zero velocity, often ignoring them as clutter. Most fighter radars are pulse-Doppler.
In practice that kind of fancy dancing just gets you shot down.
First of all I'm talking about dog fight and not BVR fight. In dogfight, being stealthy doesn't matter much. As far as exposing unstealthy side, see pic below wether sukhoi is exposing it's unstealthy side or covering it???
I m not 100 percent sure but when sukhoi will behind the other jet after performing cobra, is it possible for a jet to lock and fire missile at the other while other is in backside?????
Please correct me if im wrong as im not an expert.
