I don't know whether Russian missiles are better or worse or if ours are better or worse than the Russians. All I noted is that the information is dated and therefore probably inaccurate.

What do the fighters do after they have fired their missiles and the missiles miss due to counter measures such as flares, radar interference etc? <Fighters do not dogfight anymore. They shoot missiles at each other. The side with the best missiles wins. > If one of the fighters decides to pursue and shoot down the other, it might require a bit of aerobatics and firing back. There must be quite a bit of technology going into aviation fighting. Unmanned aircraft which can be small seems like a good idea. At a guess, 400 kg of aircraft would be able to get along pretty quickly, have some range, carry a bit of weaponry and electronics, photonics and stuff. Maybe slow moving large winged lightweight smaller aircraft would be better for some things. As with birds, there are probably swarms of designs which would be optimal for different things, from hummingbirds for hovering precisely to albatross for ocean going long distance travel and godwit for intercontinental non-stop flight, bats for night time travel and flying in caves and metropolitan skyscraper canyons.
