Guess that's what the -22s are for.
"The exercise, in which US F-15Cs were said to have been defeated more than 90 per cent of the time in direct combat exercises against the IAF, is causing US Air Force officials to re-evaluate the way the service trains its fighter pilots while bolstering the case for buying the F/A-22 as a way to ensure continued air dominance for the United States.”
-But for the conspiracy theorists out there, F-15s losing to the IAF make a GREAT sell for the F-22 don't it? Maybe TOO good...
But I absolutely love this part
"The numerical analysis and problem solving capability of IAF Pilots are well known and are probably the best in the world. In absence of signal intelligence, satellite guidance and automated software control, USAF faced Indians who were world class and
far superior than their US counterpart. IAF recruits the country’s best brains in Air Force. It is prestigious too. USAF can only recruit willing average or slightly above average.
-Putting aside our natural enmity with the zoomies for a moment, I have to say, I wasn't aware the Air Force was so hard up that they actually had to RECRUIT fighter pilots. Always thought there were enough people willing to give up their left nut to fly. "Numerical analysis and problem solving capability?" Wow better keep that one under wraps or the Navy's going to be kicking out anybody who doesn't have an engineering degree.
