someone posted here a few motnhs back (might’ve been Vortex or Vympel) that the Israelis cheated in the exercise, but the subject became touchy and was dropped because the original poster couldn’t find the article to back it up.
Originally posted by Phil Foster Don’t be so sure young Padawan, the Israelis know what they are doing better than most.
Yes, but….. If 40 USN planes went up against 1 IAF plane, all the USN planes are going be shot down? That’s bordering on improbable and absurd- the IAF plane would probably run out of bullets before that happens.
I have no doubts about the IAF’s competence, but 40:0 is a bit out there.
No offense to any of the pilots involved, but from this sentence, it seems like the IAF outnumbered the USAF planes. On Wednesday morning, as four USAF 15C took to the skies… Forty minutes later, Gwalior was ‘‘bombed’’ by an IAF MiG-27 escorted by a fleet of SU-30Ks and Mirage-2000s.
