Su-30MKI, Su-35, T-50 all have the same nozzle arrangement. 2D asymmetric vectoring but the nozzles are fixed rotated 30' inwards. F-22, Su-37 have 2D symmetric movement and nozzles not installed with any angle rotate.

On the other hand MiG-29OVT and an Su-27

) have real 3D TVC. This is why the MiG-29OVT can perform some crazy $h!t!. The most insane is a maneuver called the "mill":


F-16 VISTA/MATV, F-15 ACTIVE also have 3D TVC nozzles where exhaust can be redirected 360'. Unfortunately there is not much footage of the F-16 VISTA/MATV manuvers and almost nothing when it comes to the F-15 ACTIVE.
this is the all aspect 3D thrust vectoring nozzle of Al-31
however here they say PAKFA has a 3 D thrust vectot nozzle

Wow! I told you 6.1/055 would come out looking like a million bucks, I'd say this may well be Airsho Bird 1 very soon. I would love to see the J-20, F-35, F-22, and FC-31 in similar airshow paint, the all over white makes these airplanes much more photogenic.

Note the vertical stabs, etc have a white border that makes the airplane, especially the verts appear smaller than they actually are?
