I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure the F22 and J.S.F. both have vectored thrust.
The ability to change the angle of the exhaust nozzles.
Different method, similar results.
Maybe not at the the slow speeds like in the video but similar.
The US planes can still see and blow anything else out of the sky long before the other guy even has a clue.
And as far as flight time ...
You can buy a Russian "MIG joyride" vacation.

That's how their pilots get some of their flight time.
When I win MY 340 mil tomorrow that's on the list.

Flaptail.....ever watch "Dogfights"?
