Russia needs to create a new deck fighter

In Russia they want to create a deck fighter with a vertical take-off.

The corresponding statement was made by the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Yuri Borisov, who noted that the existing models of MiG-29 and Su-33 fighters would become obsolete after ten years, and therefore Russian aircraft designers should think about creating new deck fighters with the ability to take off and land in a vertical plane.

According to some reports, Russian aircraft builders already have some developments in the development of deck fighter aircraft with a vertical takeoff and landing system, and it is therefore logical to assume that a new military aircraft can be introduced within the next 5-7 years.

To begin with, there was Yak 141, but alas, it is out of date hopelessly. We need a new avionics, we need an engine (at least one), a remote fan behind the pilot's cabin. Here still it is necessary not to forget that KB Yak there from him some hooves remained ... There are practically no engineers. Need cooperation with someone else ...
Others have projects full, people do not have enough, then there is no funding. For what kind of horseradish and sculpted deck, and who will do it will be unclear.
