They're using upgraded versions of fairly recent but not latest gen tech. But if they're facing S300s they may start using F35s.

Depends on the version. The S-300V4 is better than the S-400. Its an army level version of rhe S-400 with a better missile thats good to an extra 50km. These designations also mean jack. It depends as much on year of manufacture as the model designator. A 2018 S-400 is not a 2012 S-400.

because the US has the best aircraft so it has no need for anti-air.

the US is also very far behind in missile technology, including ICBMs, compared to Russia; again, not as much need for it.

This seems like an oversight. Why not have better missiles and ICBMs too?

the US has a missile defense system that russia doesn't have, so russia has better ICBMs to get around it:

"What makes the RS-26 so special is that even though it weighs just 80 tons, compared to the 120-ton heft of its RS-24 Yars predecessor, the Rubezh packs a frightening 1,2 megatons into its four 300 kiloton warheads.

Moreover, its booster stage is down to under five minutes, which means that NATO radars in Europe will have no time to register the launch.

Adding to NATO air defenders’ worries, during the descending section of its trajectory, with only a few hundred kilometers left to the target, the missile’s warheads suddenly take a dive, lose altitude, and continue the approach as a cruise missile."

Wut. The reason the Russians had to make their nukes so big was because they couldn't reliably target them the way we could/can. Their AA is solid though
