most Western air forces have concluded that the usage of thrust vectoring for an edge in a dogfight is generally not worth the extra cost, weight and complexity, given “most modern dogfighting missiles have lock-on-after-launch capabilities, 50 G turn rates and relatively large no-escape zones.”
Don't u know most western countries are plain sourgraped? Can't eat the pie and claim it's sour. They don't implement becos the technology hurdle is too great. You need to have a highly reliable but strong heat withstanding mechanism to ensure it work long hours. It's not as easy as you think. This is tip of the aviation technology.
 
Guessing but may be obvious

Length 16.9 m
Width 9.8 m
Height 5.7 m
Combat radius 1350km
Mach 1.8
G -3 - 9
?
Ferry range 2950 km

I think 1350Km is the speed per hour. 1240Km is the Combat radius. 2600Km is air refueling range.
 
Hmm the maximum speed of J-10 is only mach 1.8? I always thought it was mach 2.
