I also heard it was good.
Supposedly able to out-dog-fight the F-22s

Granted the F-22s can hit targets beyond the range of the SU-27s, but I thought that the SU-27s had some new vectoring that made them very manuverable.

The SU-27 does NOT have thrust vectoring, but the SU-30Mk does have it. The Russians sold the SU-30Mk to China and India, but it is not operational in their air force.

I suspect neither plane will stand up to the F-22.
