I do remember a few years back that Israeli pilots embarrassed US pilots during war games. And more recently wasn't it Indian Fulcrums against Eagles, and the results were... disappointing?

It was sure a wake up call for the U.S. Air Force when the Indian Air Force handed the Americans their hats in mock air battles. Expected when going up against the Israelis.

Yes except we gave them AWACS capability.

Their pilots had a 3:1 to 5:1 fighting advantage.
The Israelis modify the planes we send them, improve their ability, but will not share those improvements with us.
