Because missiles can fail, while cannons are very reliable.

The real reason is because missiles are few even more so in the 5th gen avatar.

Depends on how the gun is designed into the aircraft. But basically -- no.

The gun is the weapon of last resort. Ideally, you want to shoot at your opponent from as far away as possible, hence the missile. But there will always be a time and situation where you are either too close for missiles or you are out of missiles. The US learned this the hard way with the gunless F-4.

Russian industry faces problems fielding AESA radars

Russia's airborne radar industry has "almost no possibilities" for developing an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar in the near term, industry specialists from Poland, Ukraine, and other East European nations have told IHS Jane's .

Russian military aircraft marketing representatives have repeatedly stated an AESA radar will be available when the PAK FA/T-50 next-generation fighter starts series production, yet Russia's radar industry faces several obstacles to achieving this.

Since the end of the Cold War, Russia's airborne radar sector has had two principal actors. Two design houses emerged from the radar and electronic systems conglomerate that had been responsible for aircraft onboard systems: NIIR Phazotron, located in central Moscow, and NIIP Tikhomirov, based just outside Moscow in Zhukovskiy.
