While Russian doesn't have a powerful engine as the F-35, their newer planes have twin engine with a combined output larger than the single engine of the F-35.

But the Russian engineers are very good, they've done a great job of designing competitive planes with those constraints. I wouldn't cast stones at the prototype Sukhois or MiGs.
