good series that one the MKI has never performed the cobra during 26 Jan. it's a solemn parade, not an airshow. i did see it performing the tail slide during aero india 2015, but that's about the only manoeuvre it performs that it's capable of. the explanation given by @AnantS may explain why...

the Cobra is said to be only good enough for airshows, and not for actual combat. is the same true for the other manoeuvres as well? if not, any info/juice on whether the IAF practices them or not in that case, even if they take a toll on the airframe?

oddly enough, ive never seen the MKI perform the Cobra at any airshow. or for that matter the other manoeuvres the Su 30 is famous for either. any reasons for that?
