In a supermaneuverable aircraft, the pilot can maintain a high degree of maneuverability below corner velocity, and at least limited altitude control without altitude loss below stall speed. Such an aircraft is capable of maneuvers that are impossible with a purely aerodynamic design.
In aerobatics, the cobra maneuver (or just the cobra), also called dynamic deceleration, [1] among other names (see Etymology), is a dramatic and demanding maneuver in which an airplane flying at a moderate speed abruptly raises its nose momentarily to a vertical and slightly past vertical attitude, causing an extremely high angle of attack and momentarily stalling the plane, making a full ...
The Cobra maneuver was invented by Russian pilots using their Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker and Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum aircraft, the Cobra maneuver is a form of passive supermaneuverability, while it is performed beyond normal conditions and without the need of thrust Vectoring nozzles.

In an aircraft possessing supermaneuverability, the pilot is able to maintain a high degree of maneuverability below corner velocity, and at least limited attitude control without altitude loss below stall speed. Such an aircraft is capable of maneuvers that are impossible with a purely aerodynamic design.
In 1989 at the Paris air show, Viktor Pugachev in the Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker made the first public display of what became known as “Pugachev’s Cobra”, despite the fact that the maneuver was pioneered by LII test pilot Igor Volk during the Flanker’s trials.
This maneuver is very dangerous and can only be performed in high powered and very maneuverable aircraft, like fighter jets. Pugachev's Cobra is a demanding maneuver in which the jet becomes vertical in the same horizontal path it was flying before.
The F22 is maneuverable in the post-stall region, something the F-16 is not capable of. This helps the F-22 in performing maneuvers like the Cobra and Kulbit, which is not possible in F-16.
