I ain't an expert, but I think all the planes are moot now in any sort of conflict between first world countries. Yeah, they're fine if you're going in to wax the shit out of some country that has leftover 1970's Soviet surplus or a bunch of goat farmers with 50 year old anti-aircraft guns mounted on a Toyota, but there ain't no way you're gonna risk a plane and pilot against a comparably armed enemy today. Just no way.
The Russians are really good at making cheap good planes. 10 cent on the dollar against US. A mig actually shot down the US F16 in Persian Gulf War, but the US didn't admit it.
