Some of us still remember the cold war, where Russia was both over-estimated and under-estimated in the same breath, and the Western acquisition of Russia arms was unthinkable. It seems that it's still unthinkable. Yet, the cornerstone of Western power, USA, is refusing to share some of its latest toys even with "Tier 1" allies. I'm thinking of the F-22.
So why, 15 years after the collapse of the USSR, are some nations (and many forumites on many military boards) so anti-Russian?
Would it not make sense for say Australia to become a partner in PAK-FA project? -Why is that so unthinkable?

Furthermore, Russia is plenty hostile now. Perhaps you should go look at the development of its new tank / cruise-missile / ICBM / Submarine / Aircraft Carrier / 'Ihavethebiggestp-] FOAB, and etc.
