During Iran-Iraq war MiG-23 shot down no less 25 Iranian aircraft for loss only 4 MiG-23MF, 3 MiG-23ML and 2 MiG-23MS, at least one paki f-16 was shot down but was written off as friendly fire, dunno about 10 kills too albeit they scored some hitting fighter-bombers without a cover. What about the Mirage III, Argentina still have some operationals (like F-21) and Ecuador have twelve or eleven former Venezuelans Mirage 50 (Mirage III modernized with Mirage 2000 avionics and canards), its role in the differents Israeli and Indo-Pakistani wars count a lot.

This preserved the F-14s and their precious AIM-54 missiles. 2018 MiGFlug & Adventure GmbH. Regardless, this is excellent work! On the F-5 kills you will need to add 2xF-5A kills credited to the Hellenic Air Force shooting down one Turkish Air Force F-102A with an AIM-9 missile on July 22nd 1974 over the Aegean Sea while the 2nd Turkish F-102A crashed due to fuel starvation when his pilot trying to evade the Greek F-5s turned towards mainland Greece and when he realized it (using Full AB) he turned towards Turkey and crash landed on a road. Aircraft which were destroyed on the ground are not included in this analysis, because any plane can get destroyed on the ground no matter how good it or its pilot is. Would be interesting to add the Mirage III E and C. Hi. In the case of fighter aircraft, its all about the kills, and with that as the main selection criteria, heres WATMs list of the 18 greatest fighters of all time: The iconic aircraft behind the World War I success of Manfred von Richthofens Flying Circus was actually designed after a Sopwith Triplane crashed behind German lines in 1917.

This will include Korea and the 1956 middle east war. It was hushed up as Pakistan and Soviet Union were not at war. Stealth is far from dead and many nations are still trying to create their own. Your stats on Angola for the MiG-23 are inaccurate with regard to ground losses. Stealth is dead and is being replaced by electronic warfare. Its possible in WVR combat. Falklands War (UK) 21-0-2, None kill in Malvinas war was in a dog fight. Period. We have probably given you more technology and know how then you could ever have made on your own. IAF place an order for 12 more SU 30 jets to make up for the losses whereas your official record shows that 11 SU 30s destroyed in crashes, where is the 12th? So, the US Congress which can demand accurate records of weapon systems and accountability at anytime is just sitting there, for decades, having the wool pulled over their eyes because of what information exactly?

One other aspect of that is effective radar surveillance support, both AWACS and ground-based. ALL of the US military weapons are outdated and were the main causes of this and most of our economic problems here like the housing crash and virus etc like Russia our economy will collapse. 5) The ridiculously high kill ratio of the F-14 in Iranian service is also surprising. Come back when you grow ip and can face facts. Educated guess that, all in all ,just sum it up ,you have to be at least it known,you know to say conservatively one called total of the kill ratio is 100 to 1. All rights reserved. UNITA rebels shot down several with Stinger missiles, SADF 155 mm artillery destroyed one or more on a forward operating base, and one more was shot down by SADF 20 mm AAA during the raid on Caleque Dam.

You need to add the air to air kill by the F-18E against the Russian Su-22 in Syria. They barely break even between kills and losses on the air-combat scorecard.2) The F-15 Eagle is completely dominant as a fighter, 1) because its a really good aircraft, and 2) because its so expensive it can only be used by nations with enough money to invest in the training and maintenance it takes to make really good air forces.3) Looking at the losses of the F-4 to ground fire, one can see how big of a threat SAMs were in the 1960s and 1970s. If you dont believe one then why should you believe the other? They barely break even between kills and losses on the air-combat scorecard. The US lives on these foreign bases. Its tough to put an accurate list together due to varying claims, but youre doing a good job. (Wikipedia). F-16 had to claim SAM hits as the losses were too high to hide. This F1 made it back to base but overran the runway do to damage on 27Sept88. The inner zeal to expand and impose religion will take you no where. 4) Cf. Its Speed, Range, Armament: AIM-54, Radar, IRST, and dedicated RIO / second set of eyes made it a beast in its day: many USN brass still bemoaning its retirement and replacement by Rhino F-18E/F , Tom Cooper is a proven LIAR.
