its the only plane with the thrust vector. and trust be, thrust vector is not only for air shows. The millisecond you perform the cobra maneuver your planes disappears from the radar of the enemy plane for a few seconds. That can be helpful if enemy lock ons are racing towards you.
Plus it has its own self defence system, which is slightly similar to the rafale, but not as good.
It can carry a lot of armaments(10 missiles + 2 bombs ) according to rosoboron exports brochure which i got in the defence expo.

A Mig lover, I see.
If it comes with slashed tires, loads of maintainence problems and a poor spares supply; as the earlier Mig-29s we bought came with; well it doesn't make it look too tempting; especially for the boys who will be flying them!
