Impressive. I've seen video of maneuvers that at least appeared similar performed by MIG-29 and SU-27 aircraft (without canards). I wonder what additional capability is actually conferred by the canards on these aircraft. The SU-30 appears to be an SU-27 airframe with addition of canards and perhaps different engines.

More on the SU-30 here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-30)
