Nice acrobatics!

Now back to reality...airplanes shoot each other beyond visual range. You can make piruettes as much as you want. How's Sukhois radar? Avionics? Radar signature? Engine longevity?

Without having forementioned stuff top-notch it's just a expensive aerobatics plane. Impressive, yes. But plane is nothing than a weapons system. It should carry weapons and evade being shot. Somehow, I believe missiles can turn faster than that, despite thrust-vectoring and all...
No one does dog-fighting anymore.
