The MiG-21 is a 1950s Second Gen fighter. This is like switching a 1950s Lada for a Citroen C4 2007.

This is Russia's modern cockpit from the 57, note that there is a copilot who is more of a navigator/uav guided munitions operator

Still that lame teal paintjob.......
Russians really love r-slurred military colour schemes. Until recently the decks of all their warships had only the red anti-rust paint (which normal navies paint over), because who needs camouflage when you have a dumb tradition?
Also, WTF is this supposed to camouflage you from?

I like the red decks (not as good as US warships with teak on them, like old battleships and aircraft carriers). Camo is dumb for a Navy, looking cool should be more important

Or just be like the Canadian navy, and dress like a small town mechanic.

Honestly not bad. It's practical, sailors used to wear work blues with dungarees, there's history there. It's better than wearing blue camo fatigues cut for field use when you are doing boat things.

I don't want to get in the weeds about it but the general line of thought among non-hobbyists is that it is an alright plane that though inferior to the F22 or F35 is significantly superior to Euro planes. It has seen extensive use in Ukraine as suggested by missiles only it can use, and it's biggest pitfall is it's low production numbers due to Russia's economy.
