Hi there,
It is a true fact that the entire world believes that the US has the best fighter aircrafts in the world, best technology and good pilots. But at times I really doubt. I was exploring the capabilities of Russian and Soviet fighters in Wikipedia.org. It really was impossible to believe what I read. I mean, the US claims that it has the best fighters, but Russian/Soviet fighters like the MIG-21, the MIG-29 and the new Sukhois are much better than F-15,F-16 and the F-18s. (the ones who boast to be the best in the world?). Not only that, in most joint exercises, like with the Indian Air Force and the German Air Force, the MIG-29s used by their pilots defeated the US F-15 and the F-16s in dog fights.The Federation of American Scientists has proved this too.
The MIG-21 started its service back in 1959 whereas the MIG-29 entered in 1977!
So who is the best anyway. The so called best pilots in the world fail in simple exercises??
Can anyone tell me whats happening?
