No fault of the design. It was meant for a particular role. It is being brought out and borderline misused in a different role. I can get behind loling at Russia, but this is like laughing at an M4 Sherman for not having ECM built in. I’d laugh at the people who rolled it into a modern conventional fight, but the design seems competent for the time and role.
Tomcat isn’t spec’d for it, but that’s a real maneuver. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_maneuver
