Well I have a Su-35 holding still for almost 20 seconds in midair.
Indicated airspeed at ZERO before tail finally drops and Su-35 pitches
forward and resumes aerobatic display for crowd. Absolutely stunning.
You're just ****ed because no other operational non VTOL/VSTOL can do
this.

A helicopter in hover will show zero IAS. An aircraft in a hammerhead stall
will show 0 IAS.

As for the 20 seconds how about providing us with a clip or web site?

I have it on an authentic Russian airshow demonstrator video- recorded
on VHS. It was taped outside Moscow and given to me by a friend to add
to my collection.
I offered to mail it to the first person who argued about it.
