To answer your question Yes to all of them.
Parts for all former USSR based aircraft are very easy to come by hell the Mig21 is the longest produce Fighter aircraft every right now you can go to Romania and get brand new wings for $200,000.
As for working on them they aren't that hard to work on even Western Fighter are quite easy and don't forget there are allot of former Mechs out there.
As for Weapon System's the only one's that I know that are still Classified are the F-22 most Weapon System are left over from mid 60s tech that have been updated. Every scene the inside of the latest B-52 Glass Cockpit upgrade nothing has change since they came out of Boeing.
Yeah, I was an avionics tech. So I know for a fact that there are classified materials within our aircraft. Now, the weapons we use might not be classified, but there is a completely different chain in the supply system, as well as extra layers of tracking that go into the process of removing and replacing of a sensitive part. Nobody is getting electronic countermeausures equipment.
