For those, who are interested ... in the current Combat Aircraft Monthly there's an update report on the Chinese Flankers (even if I have to admit some minor errors regarding the regimental numbers)

Thrust vectoring increases roll and turn rates, so even if the J-11 has higher TWR, the Su-30MKI has an increase in turn and roll rates even having lower TWR.

Now Thrust only is good for sustained turn rate, instantaneous turn rates are lift based and can only be increased by thrust vectoring or higher lift.

Lower wing loading or bigger wing can increase lift, Su-30MKI has canards, so the Su-30MKI lowered wing loading.

Add post stall and you get better agility
now i can confirm the Su-30MKI numbers but the J-11 numbers where can you can confirm them?

This website has insider relations.

The RCS estimates of the J-11B were given by video and the AESA radar was confirmed by an official.

Indigenization
The first Su-30MKI manufactured from raw materials in India by HAL is expected to roll out in 2010, HAL Chairman V. Balakrishnan said at MAKS 2009.

HAL mastered the manufacture of the wing and the tail last year, and plans to start producing the fuselage and raw materials this year. Manufacture of the engine, the most challenging aspect of indigenization, will be undertaken in the final phase.

"We’re currently testing the locally produced engine for the Su-30MKI and are planning to launch its production in 2010."

HAL would manufacture 60 Su-30MKI fighters in the full production cycle till 2015, he said.
