It also seem that this will be the last fighter of this type due to cost - so it will reign superior as a manned jet. Resources will be shifted to cheaper, specialized units - leaving the F35 as king.
With the exception of the vectoring nozzle on the F-35B STOVL variant, the F-35 does not have thrust vectoring. And even the F-35B's thrust vectoring is limited to STOVL modes, not regular air-to-air combat maneuvering.
Only the F-22 has thrust vectoring, and that is only in pitch. The Russian Suhkoi Su-30 has two dimensional thrust vectoring in the pitch and yaw planes.
