Vietnam WarBy the end of hostilities, F-86 pilots were credited with shooting down 792 MiGs for a loss of only 78 Sabres, a victory ratio of 10:1.[22] More recent research by Dorr, Lake and Thompson has claimed the actual ratio is closer to 2:1.[23]
The Soviet claims of downing over 600 Sabres[24] together with the Chinese claims[25] are considered exaggerated by the USAF.[citation needed] Recent USAF records show that 224 F-86s were lost to all causes, including non-combat losses. But direct comparison of Sabre and MiG losses seem irrelevant, since many F-86s Sabres were lost due to enemy air defense fire, while MiGs were pure air-to-air fighters and had the advantage of only flying over friendly territory.
You are quite natarajan , Su-7 contributed greatly in 1971 war alongwith Hunters and Gnats but also notable that MiG-21 was not totally used in the war itself , they were reserved for any new war against Pak , I mean escalation of War, except bombing of Dacca Govt. house.you forgot 1971 war where su-7 just knocked out all usa planes used by pakistanis
The figures I mentioned are from the Korean War and Vietnam war, both of which were fought on equal levels.^^Soham, those numbers are from the conflict between unequals, an US against Iraq, an Israel against Egypt and so on, never between equals. You cannot take those numbers seriously. Tell me numbers from conflicts between equals, then I will accept that western fighters are better than Russian fighters.
DD, there is never any conflict between equals and there never will be.^^Soham, those numbers are from the conflict between unequals, an US against Iraq, an Israel against Egypt and so on, never between equals. You cannot take those numbers seriously. Tell me numbers from conflicts between equals, then I will accept that western fighters are better than Russian fighters.
The one with BVRsDD, there is never any conflict between equals and there never will be.
Guys, Aircraft cannot be compared like TV's or Washing Machines. The AF with the better discipline, training, logistics (C3-C4) and equipment will win.
If the USAF had Mig-25s and Mig-31s in Iraq, while Iraq had F-15s and F-16, look at the support for the USAF a/c and the sad condition of the Iraqi AF a/c. Who would have won?
I guess Israel against Egypt is conflict between equals. i mean equal numbers.^^Soham, those numbers are from the conflict between unequals, an US against Iraq, an Israel against Egypt and so on, never between equals.

Fiction. When was the Harrier developed?I still feel Russian has the best tech. For example Russian were the pioneers and implementor or thurst vector tech in its fighter....
There is hell lot of difference between thurst vector of harrier and su 30mki. which one is better u know bettter???. You forgot yak 31 which was again similar as harrier...and invented during same period...Fiction. When was the Harrier developed?
1. Harrier used thrust vectoring, and so, Russians cannot be called pioneers and implementors of TVC.There is hell lot of difference between thurst vector of harrier and su 30mki. which one is better u know bettter???. You forgot yak 31 which was again similar as harrier...and invented during same period...
While Kommunist has already clarified upon your point...I still feel Russian has the best tech. For example Russian were the pioneers and implementor or thurst vector tech in its fighter....
Well the Pioneer was Piotr Umfiskin...he was a Russian guy who went to America...petr Yakovlevich Ufimtsev and Horton brothers...While Kommunist has already clarified upon your point...
Let me ask you, who were the pioneers of stealth technology ?
natarajan-they were not su-7's.they were british gnats.they were post those acts were called "sabre slayers"you forgot 1971 war where su-7 just knocked out all usa planes used by pakistanis
