In acrobatic flying, the Pugachev Cobra and the Herbst maneuver are well-known procedures among fighter aircrafts in which the pilots use advanced flight controls in order to carry them out.
On the one hand, the Pugachev Cobra consists on a maneuver where the pilot raises the aircraft´s nose for a quick moment until the plane achieves a vertical position creating a 90-degree angle. Once they do so, the plane must suffer a powerful engine thrust to maintain a constant altitude through the entire procedure.
On the other hand, the Herbst maneuver uses advanced flight controls to achieve better attacking angles and gain advantage over the enemies. This maneuver allows the aircraft to quickly change direction using a combination of highly complex in-flight procedure.
To sum up, if we compare these two maneuvers. The Herbst maneuver is considered way more useful in combat whilst Pugachev´s cobra is mainly used for acrobatic shows.
