A few Russian platforms could arguably be competitive in any assessment of the world's best weapons.

Here's What You need to Remember: Another question mark may center around the Su-57, Russia’s reported stealthy 5th-Generation fighter jet. Other than a stealthy-looking exterior that appears to resemble an F-22 with its dual engine configuration, tail wings and blended wing-body, very little actual performance detail may be known about the aircraft.
Russian news report claims the country is “outpacing” rival armies around the world with new weapons, despite a much smaller budget, making somewhat curious and completely unsubstantiated claims.
Citing hypersonic weapons, long-range precision weapons, and armed warships, the TASS report says, "The latest strategic missile systems are on combat alert and the number of strike aircraft with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles as well as warships outfitted with long-range precision weapons is growing. We are also outpacing many advanced armies of the world in developing new armaments with a far smaller defense budget."
