Viktor Georgiyevich Pugachev is a retired Russian Air Force officer and a former Soviet test pilot who was the first to demonstrate the so-called Pugachev's Cobra manoeuvre to the general public in 1989, flying an Su-27. The Gold medal of the Hero of the Soviet Union was awarded to him in the late 1980s. He graduated from the Yeysk Higher Military Order of Lenin Aviation School in 1970, test-pilot school in 1978 and the Moscow Aviation Institute in 1980. After two years with Gromov Flight Research Institute he joined OKB Sukhoi where he tested the Su-9, Su-15, Su-24, Su-25 and the Su-27.
