That was my experience in running fighters out of airspeed in the vertical; once it pitches over like plumb bob, it takes awhile to get useful energy to bring the nose up. The high level stall profile in the Global was done in the 40s; same deal long wait with the nose down until reaching about M.74-ish. But that was more like an approach to stall, not fully developed.
You need what’s required to “break” the stall and see the plane start accelerating. AoA indications are very hrlpful here.
