To be honest I had maybe a prejudiced view on Arab nations’ abilities to train pilots. But with a QATAR fighter intercepting and destroying 2 Iranian crafts, they must know what they are doing.
Twenty years ago I knew a guy who was one of the people doing advanced training pilots from various Gulf states. He said that they could be excellent pilots, every bit as good as American pilots.
However, when things got hot, they tended to get excited and forget much of their training. Until they got older, they all wanted to be heroes.
