min radius turns are dependant on speed and power. the higher the speed the higher the g load and more power is needed to continue the energy and mantain the g for the full turn. if an aircrafts max g load is 9g then the turn radius is determined by the speed, it cant turn tighter as that would create more g. slower will mean tighter turns but the norm is do the manouver at around 450kts i think and keep the aircraft at max g load and full power to mantain the energy.
That's rather long for a 4.5 gen fighter. I know the SH doesn't take the cake for agility but I doubt this is really a minimum radius turn. Your info on the f22 is inaccurate.
You have to take into account the size, weight, and thrust the aircraft has. It only makes sense that a smaller, slower moving aircraft can do it faster, it doesn't make it more useful.
