Highsea, though I can't remember the specifics (and I'm disinterested in digging through the compositions, but will if you're REALLY desperate lol) according to an article on the F-35 in either Airpower Review Journal, Wings/Airpower, or Aviation Week, a Lockheed designer stated that they did indeed aquire design plans of the Yak-141 VTOL system, specifically for the "three bearing" swivel mechanism for the main engine, to help them with the V/STOL X-35. He also noted that, it helped them more in knowing what NOT to do than what actually should be done. lol So, yes, Russian design tech was involved in developing the X-35.
Injecteer, the control surfaces and controls of the F-22 are so good, it doesn't need a 3-D TV system to have the same supermaneuverability as a 3-D equipped Flanker.
