Seriously, nobody should be talking **** about knocking each other out of the sky.
As kev said, IAF frequently knocks the **** out of the USAF, USN, USMC in pure ACM. Why? Cuz they got that their crazy as 180 degree HUD mounted on helmet guided missiles. Yeah, ACM doesn't mean they'll win in a real war but if that's how you wanna measure "asskickingness" there's a loss for all of us right there. No pts for 2nd place, right? Hell a few years back, the Marines got their asses kicked in a 10:1 ratio in dogfighting competition against the Israelis(Btw, anybody know if it's true what they say about the IAF...that they screen kids from preschool to see who'll be hotshots on the stick?)
And ghost...I sincerely doubt the 15Cs will have a "easy time" against 18s in pure ACM. The 18 is a full generation ahead of the 15C in flight design technology. That's like putting a Mig-29 against a F-14. talk about dissimilar aircraft combat.
On a lighter note, as soon as I saw ghost's first post, I knew this topic would degenerate into immature flaming.
