Nice post there gb009
Clears a couple of points and raises a few
1. AESA will not be gimballed
2. No rear looking radar (this one really bothers me) but lets see, could be a mistake by the video maker also because the 2 wing mounted L bands will work as one.

The slanted thrust vectoring might be 3D, lost in translation i would say.

What did he mean by Invar rigging , have they found some new method of putting the panels together??

Invar is a Nickel-steel alloy. It has a lesser thermal signature compared to Titanium or steel. It is just employing new materials as fastners.
