However, the russians are great designers and innovators and among the best theortists. I personally would not brush it aside. Given the money, they have the potential to beat anyone in tech development.
The Russians have been 10-15 years behind us on conventional fighter technology (i.e. Fulcrum, Flanker)

They have even come up with anything the equivalent of the F-117 yet, and it's been 25 years.
