The cobra maneuver that Vice Admiral "Cyclone" Simpson reproached Maverick from performing is actually beyond the capability of any known fighter aircraft except the Russian Su-57 and some MiG-29 variants. Maverick performed a limited cobra move in the original film during his dogfight with the unnamed enemy fighters while flying the F-14, and again in training with his strike force with his F-18A, and lastly to save Rooster from the missile that took down Maverick's own plane when Rooster ran out of countermeasures.Historically there is no record of the maneuver, which is called "Pugachev's Cobra", ever being used in genuine air-to-air combat. It has been seen in dog-fighting training and in public demonstrations, so this would add one more record to Maverick's stellar body of aerial combat achievements: the only aviator to use Pugachev's Cobra to defeat another aviator in combat.The maneuver was named for Viktor Pugachev, the Soviet pilot who popularized it when he demonstrated it at an airshow in Paris in 1989, but it was also previously performed by Soviet test pilot Igor Volk, by Swedish pilots who called it kort parad ("short parry") after a maneuver in fencing, and by Syrian pilots in the 1960's, who called it the "zero speed maneuver". It would be useful in dog-fighting and in spoofing certain kinds of radar.
