That is what you get for flying them damn ruskie planes.
The good old reliable TRUE MRF F-16 Falcon is the best in its class! And even several classes above!
See my immediately prior post. The F-16 is old, to the point where even Lockheed has decided to completely revise it into something called the F21. And it failed miserably in the Indian MRCA tender.
The SU-30MKI and later variants are planes that are the size of an F-15 that are far more maneuverable than an F-16 and are considerably faster. Proven through open exercises with and against Indians.
Also notable that you are celebrating the fact that someone in an F-16 managed to shoot down what everyone admits is an easy target for an actual fighter design - a subsonic ground attack aircraft - as some sort of huge victory.
Basically, you’re using an incident that’s the aerial equivalent of Mike Tyson in his prime beating up a middle school bully as proof of superiority.
