No need to waste time on redeveloping a new fighter. Yak 144 exists they just need to revisit that project and using modern techniques improve it. F35 owes its birth to Yak 144!!

The aircraft carrier is old but still it was successfully used to bomb Syria.

Wrong. It will be a waste of time using the Yak-144 as foundation.
The F-35B did take after the Yak-144 in terms of HOW to achieve vertical take-off, but that is the end of it. Like it or not, if Russia does intend to create a V/STOL fighter, it will be the F-35B that will serve as foundation.
Simple reason -- the Yak-144 did vertical take-off in a far less efficient manner with two jet engines. Once the aircraft is in full horizontal flight using the main jet engine, the secondary engine, the one for vertical take-off, is turned off, making this engine useless (dead) weight. The F-35B's method is more efficient -- use one jet engine coupled to a lift fan for vertical take-off.

Russia is developing a vertical rising aircraft on instruction from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov has said.
"This work has really been included in the state rearmament program. It got under way following instructions of the supreme commander-in-chief (of the Russian Armed Forces). Conceptual models and prototypes are being developed at the current stage," Borisov said.
He stressed that the designers were creating a new jet rather than modifying some existing flying craft.
"There is no doubt that all aircraft carriers will need a new fleet of flying craft in future. That is the reason why various technologies are being used to ensure reduced takeoff and landing or just hover takeoff," Borisov went on to say.
"The Russian Defense Ministry has been engaged in this kind of conceptual work since last year," the deputy prime minister added.
According to Borisov, concrete deadlines will depend on a technological cycle. "As a rule, it takes from 7 to 10 years if serial production is to be launched," he said.
In the summer of 2017 Borisov, who was Russia’s deputy defense minister at that time, said that the Russian Defense Ministry and aircraft builders were discussing the creation of a perspective hover takeoff and vertical landing aircraft for the future aircraft carrying cruiser. He then clarified that the fighter jet would develop a line of vertical lift aircraft of the Yakovlev Design Bureau.
