Russian aircraft use metric instruments and generally have somewhat different approach to cockpit ergonomics. The recent perm air crash was most likely caused by a pilot used to russian instruments misinterpreting a western style ADI under stress. The same problems would magnify for combat aircraft.

Although this is off topic I don't agree with this given the number of hours the pilot had in that type of plane.
I do agree that Russian cockpit ergonomics were different but that has changed with the newer fighters they have moved to glass cockpits and better HOTAS.
