Great pics...haven't heard: can this one vector its thrust in high speed flight?

Would have to check on thrust vectoring. The F-22 does but that is a different mission.

Slightly OT on the question, but with the battle management software able to fire on targets behind the ship the requirement to get the nose on the target doesn't seem as critical as in the past. :jump:
