What the Lt Col meant to say, "And that, my friends, gives me reason NOT to suspect the "accelerated stall"
I'll thank you for not noticing my error.

In a "Flight Journal" article a non Russian pilot discovered that the SU-27 suffers from roll continuance...in some cases the aircraft will continue to over roll near 90 degrees after the stick is centered.
The aircraft has pitch problems and shape control in some manuevers.
With the over roll ..the stick is recentered..but the aircraft still slides laterally.
Comment form Flight Journal on over roll on U.S. aircraft such as F-15 and 16..is the onboard computer acts to counter the dynamic..
The SU-27's comp suite is in catch up mode...to flight shape profile.
Maybe milliseconds slower than U.S. systems..but a serious concern....and leathal at certain elevations.
