"Russia cannot produce next-generation fighter aircraft"
Russia may not have the money to build it in numbers, but for sure they have the technology. The fighter aircrafts are very capable and the F-35 may well be a one trick pony (can't fly fast, can't dog fight, can't carry a huge load, needs tons of maintenance, is invisible to 3rd world countries and may or may not be visible to China or Russia).

This military blog says the US may not be able to match the Russians in missile technology:

- crdoconnor 8y agoI did a double take at this. The "next generation of fighter aircraft" is, in all likelihood, fleet of cheap autonomous drones that can withstand high gee maneuvers that will make a fighter pilot black out. It's probably not very polite to say that sort of thing in military-industrial complex circles though (too much money riding on the F-35).
