If this is the wrong place to post this I'm sorry but, I figured it would get the most views here rather then in any of the other forum sections.
My boss received this from his retired military bother-in-law.

As you watch this airplane, look at the canards moving along
side of, and just below the canopy rail.
This is a video of an in-flight demonstration flown by the
Russian SU-30MK fighter aircraft. You'll not believe what you are about to
see.
The fighter can stall from high speed, stopping in less than
a second. Then it demonstrates an ability to descend tail first without
causing a compressor stall. It can also recover from a flat spin in
less than a minute. These capabilities don't exist in any other aircraft
in the world today.
Take a look at the video with the sound up. This aircraft is
of concern to U.S. and NATO planners. We don't know which nations will
soon be flying the SU-30MK, hopefully China isn't one of them.
