No, Ruskie tactics suck. My understanding is they are still using the old Cummunist style, since its practically inbred into the senior officers.

Not going to happen!!
F-22 Raptor will have BETTER avionics by far. The TVC is controlled by a supercomputer, sensor fusion, stealth, a WHOLE LOT of pure computing power, FAR superior jamming and FAR greater manoever ability. You won't even detect it or see it on the radar till 8-10 km.... "splash one" material! The Mig-31, and company, including the SU-30MKI, SU-27, SU-35/37, SU-47, etc., are decades behind in systems and even further in LO. The RUssians claim these aircraft are 4th Gen but in truth they, accounting for all aspects, they are equal and actually 3rd Gen.
SO you end up with 3rd Gen going against 5th Gen...right.....LOL
No other aircraft comes close to the situational awareness, stealth, computing power, or performance with full weapons load of the F-22 Raptor. Russia's 1.42? Right....lack of moneyto continue and produce, lacks large numbers of trained pilots....supply (fuel/parts/etc.). Dreams verses reality.
Try this:

Got the answers for that that Mig though, till the F-22 comes forth....F-15K/F-16 BLK60 series, F/A-18E/F series, etc....hell, could probably whoop it with a F-14D with antic Pheonix system.
