And that's how SSG got famous ,
Americans fuelled egos of porkis by giving such statements and porks went berserk over it ,to this day they keep shouting "Americans/British said this"
From US point of view these cheap statements were all they had to give for 100s of porkis numba 1 soldiers getting slaughtered every month .
Those statements about Pakistani pilots being world class were from clueless US politicians which most know nothing aviation. US pilots have stated on record that Pakistani pilots are clueless. I remember posting an article in this thread from ‘TheDive’ where a US pilot scolded Pakistani F-16 pilots by saying they don’t even know the basics of flying. One F-14 pilot was mocking Pakistani pilots how easy it was to kill Pakistani aircraft, he was talking about HUD photos he had of Pakistani aircraft in his cross hairs.
I’m not sure how Pakistanis can brag about being world When American pilots have mocked Pakistanis as incompetent, same with Soviet pilots that have met Pakistanis in combat. Surely you can’t be world class when you get embarrassed by Mig-23s and then shoot down your own wingman (so the Pakistanis claim). Certainly can’t be world class when half the Pakistani Air Force was decimated in wars. The problem is Pakistan is poor, they can’t afford to fly the same hours as other air forces, nor can they afford world class training facilities and they certainly don’t have world class instructors or a competent Air Force command.
Pakistani pilots are too busy in the academy being taught about fake 5 kills in 30 seconds (they were actually teaching them this in the courses). They then teach them about many other fake kills against Indians, Israelis and Soviets, then pilots pray all day. Recently broke Pakistan used funds to make museums and monuments about the February skirmish. As a result of these shenanigans Pakistani get embarrassed in real life.
