Complicated Carrier Landings
This Su-33 fighter pilot tried to perform a Cobra Landing on the deck of the Admiral Kuznetsov Aircraft Carrier. As if carrier landings weren’t dangerous enough!

Though it may sound like a fun idea, the result of this landing isn’t what you were expecting.
The pilot knew the landing wouldn’t stick, so he decided to just throttle up and get out of the carrier deck as soon as possible.

Fortunately, after a few seconds of struggle, the Su-33 successfully aborted the landing and flew off.

Props to the Su-33 pilot for trying it, though. That’s as dangerous as it gets!
