What obsolete doctrine are you referring to.... winning?
How about fighting the Soviet Air Force in Europe, expecting actual resistance or expecting a bvr scenario where the enemy will consist of several hundred aircraft?
There are several reasons why the original order of over 600 fighters got canceled at 185ish...
For RuAF i hope they make a single engined fighter in the 8-9 tonne class using the 117 engine.

Soooo your going to build your next gen air superiority fighter to fight the Taliban? If your not going to build your top line fighter with the capabilities to take on a peer or near peer adversary why bother. We already have the A-10 to fight insurgency warfare.
