Thrust vectoring isn’t that new. Several gen4 Russian fighters have it. It’s nice to have in a merge but a true 5th gen fighter should never get that deep into the fight.

Not really. If F-35s are engaging within visual range then they’ve already failed.
5th gen is about BVR capabilities. Radar cross section, IR signature, data links, sensor fusion, etc.
