Hey Guys:

Take a look at the last few seconds of the video. It looks like the only 'thrust vectoring' the SU-30 could do would be via the 'turkey feathers'. My bet is the canards make the really outrageous maneuverability possible. Watch them during the really 'nonaerodynamic' maneuvers.

I could be wrong, but it's just my opinion!
