They can't make a newer Russian jet because everything newer is classified.

Also, the Russian armed forces have only produced two non-soviet designed fighter jets, and of those they've built something like 17 combat models combined.

The same is true for the US, in that they only really have two post cold war designs but they've built well over a thousand between the F-35 and F-22.

Yeah I just mean there's a difference between 1980s jets like the f18a hornet or su27 and modern jets like the f18e super hornet and su35. They're pretty much the same jet, but 1 has newer systems and engines and stuff.
