Aren't these the planes that allowed Indian pilots to run rings around our men? Didn't we lose every single mock dogfight against them?
it greatly depends on the skill of the pilots involved
It matters not who won or who lost in the “dog fights” between India and the US.
All that matters is that parties, which political correctness precludes me from naming, believe that they are assured of 72 virgin’s or should that be dates (Wink), if they attempt to take on the two
No, as to the Americans. In the previous rounds, the US flew F-15s instead of F-16s. It appears that the Indians were using the SU-30 in that round, which is a nice plane.
If the rules are more or less fair, the US will easily beat the MiG 21s, 27s and 29s as well as the Mirages, but will have their hands full with the Su-30s. (My guess is that the Americans will win this time to encourage the Pakistanis to go ahead with the F-16 purchase that has been delayed.)
Now, if they were able to beat an F-22, we would know that the exercises were a joke.
