Russia's got access to modern electronics. They have MiG and SU upgrade programs all the time, giving them glass cockpits.
Besides, Europe has Eurofighter. This is an excellent aircraft. Probably the second best aircraft flying at this time, outside of F-22 only. Better than anything Russia is fielding right now, and better than anything India is fielding as well. This new Russian fighter is just a catch up program.
