"But regardless of what you see on youtube or on some Flanker obsessed websites, these aircraft stand little chance of surviving an encounter with similar numbers of F-22s or F-35s."

They will simply field far more Flankers.

They cannot afford to field more Flankers. Russia is pretty much broke and their defense budget is such that we can afford an F-35 easier than they can afford a 4th generation fighter.

“...Quantity has a quality all its own ~ Stalin.”

Often asserted (though this is the first attribution to Josef Stalin, that I have come across), it’s false.

If it were true, we could equip all our troops with BB guns and never worry again.

From 1950-1954 the NORKs and ChiComs found out that bullets were a lot cheaper than people.
