"In most USAF aerial combat training, the service has “dumbed down”
adversarial equipment and training to simulate what it believed to be
the level of the enemy competence. The Indian Air Force aircrews, on
the other hand, practice at full capability against their best fighter
aircraft and pilots."


That would be like training cops to handle muggers and coke dealers by
having them train against little old ladies. (And then the inevitable
years of investigation to figure out why that didn't work out too
well.) Seriously, how does any body that incompetant get into a
position to make policy? It boggles the mind.
