I would call that BS considering how fundamental Russian science is....our population tends to dramaticize superficiality these days. We did well by exiting because we need to invest in our own like Tejas and its versions.
True. Russian have years of R&D and a viable defence industry. We are still trying to get a functioning OFB to build a decent rifle.

Both are different but reason we don't have a decent rifle is we aren't allowing it to be built by people who can.

In terms of avionics and radar we aren't much behind and moving pretty fast.
Now coming to reason why we ditched Su 57 . They weren't giving us workshare and were handling our people like kids.

There wasn't much to gain for the price we had to pay.

Does anyone get an idea what the CPFH of the new gen Mig-29 is? (cause the k and the 35 claim they have a 2.5 times lower cost, which is...well a bit ambitious)

After Admiral Kuznetsov, does Russian navy plan to field Mig29Ks from the Shtorm supercarrier as well? Or will they design a new carrier-based fighter? Maybe a derivative of Su-PAK FA would do?
I have my doubts about that. I don't think so Russia has enough money to have another Aircraft Carrier.
