One Iraqi driver in a antiquated Mig-25 from a 3rd
world airforce with no budget and probably less ACM
training than the average UPT student still managed to
drop in on the six of a flight of F-18's during Gulf
War One and smoke Lt. Scott Speicher.
AWACS thought he was a coalition aircraft OR never
even processed that he was there to begin with. The
Mig driver got away clean.
And up to now I bet Ya'll thought we had no air to
air losses in Gulf war one. Think again. Some may
argue about what really happened but that Speicher was
bagged by a -25 was the unanimous opinion of the Jocks
at Beaufort and Oceana, and the subject was covered in
unclassified reports.
And Smash, The Indian Air force DID overwhelm our
guys with numbers and sneaky tactics, and not just
once but several times.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.  I still look at the percentages and we win!  Smile  I didn't say we didn't lose Scott Sp. or anybody else, there are always casualities, but I don't think that anyone is as well trained as our US armed forces pilots.  Sorry.
