Let's see looking at Russia's air force:
SU-24, SU-25, SU-27, MiG-31, MiG-35 are all out of print so to speak
the MiG-29, SU-30, SU-34, SU-35 and SU-57 are the only jets Russia is currently building
SU-35 is just a mod of the SU-27 i think.
If you use the SU-27 first flight date and ignore the SU-57 as barely existing then the newest jet fighter/multi-role Russia has in production had it's first flight in 1990
SU-57 first flight in 2010
MIG-29 in 1977
SU-30 in 1989
SU-34 in 1990
SU-35 in 2008 unless you take the SU-27s 1988
It's not incorrect to call Russia a cargo cult.
