The quality of the pilot is much more important than the quality
of the fighter. The nature of the engagement is also more important
than the quality of the fighter. It may well make sense to say that
one fighter is better than another, but quantifying it with
expected loss ratios is pointless.



okay, what if we have two identical pilots with same skills. clones in
fact. which would win?

I don't know.
Why don't you try the experiment and tell us the result

Perhaps. Check out what happened at Cope India '04. F-15C vs Su-30
Vanilla (as well as Mirage 2000, MiG-29, MiG-21). Predictably the
Yanks were murdered in WVR while they dominated BVR engagements.
Weather this is significant will emerge only as the ROE and other
details of the games become available.

The carefully leaked USAF:IAF loss rate of 4:1 was a win-win for both
the parties involved, for very different reasons.

Why should we believe anyone who doesn't know the difference between whether
and weather?

Actually the better things get in Russia and East Europe, the fewer Slavic
engineers and scientist will migrate to the US, and your superior technology
will dive for a steep decline!



Don’t get me wrong, Germanic people are pretty good organizers and excel at
team work, but they lack innovative spirit and most importantly creativity.



You are just good at perfect execution of orders without thinking for
yourself

Assuming a neutral start to the engagement, odds are that both fly
home to base.

Oh, not if the whole point of the posting was a troll

Sticky gets very upset if he's not the one to initiate the flame fests. He
feels it's his solemn responsibility and obligation.

Stalin-Putin, Putin-Stalin. The more things change, the more they stay the
same.

Well get him some!
It's being advertised all over the place at prices

And there's even a competing product

Who me?
I don't even try.
I'm more likely to throw a bucket of sand on some of these flare-ups.
But don't feel personally offended.
You're not singled out.
