That is pretty amazing. Makes me wonder what our boys out at Dreamland got in the works.

Makes our versions of vectored thrust -- the Harrier and the Osprey -- look kind'a silly.

I see major problems with it. First it appears to be leaking red stuff from the wings, lots of it, probably nitro methane.
Second the damn thing can't fly in a straight line
and last who the hell wants a jet that goes backwards and seems to slow down and speed up in mid air. Must have a bad crankshaft position sensor and while I'm at it I like our wing better!

just kidding of course.

To my knowledge the Chinese are completing a licensed copy which they will improve and deploy. Memories of the Mig 21. Gary

This jet's competition is the F-22 Raptor, the US's multi-role strike aircraft.

IIRC the F-22 has pitch-axis thrust vectoring, while the SU-30 has thrust vectoring of both pitch and yaw.

Unfortunately, most of the maneuverability being shown pales in comparison to the importance of EW, Stealth, and BVR weaponry.
