Yeah, but that's because they still haven't recovered from going bankrupt as the USSR. The fact that they're exporting these planes shows that they are perfectly capably of building them, doesn't it? And I'm pretty sure you meant the MiG-29. They haven't made MiG-21s in a really long time, although they do export advanced avionics packages to the few countries still using MiG-21s.
Edit: And what Soviet Ace said, too!
