Su 30 has 3d vectoring? I thought only PAKFA was supposed to have that.
True!
The MKI has thrust vectoring in 2 Dimensions onlee.(X-Y plane)
From wiki:-The Thrust Vectoring nozzles of the MKI are mounted 32 degrees outward to longitudinal engine axis (i.e. in the horizontal plane) and can be deflected ±15 degrees in the vertical plane. This produces a cork-screw effect, thus enhancing the turn capability of the aircraft.

aerobatics by russians were awesome. why iaf pilots not performing daring stunts like one done by russian pilots?
Russians have separate flanker demo teams. India does not, operational aircraft cannot be put through high stress and undue risk by switching off FBW.

In the first video

The Sukhoi looks like it made a last ditch landing rather a stunt.
