Re: Future of the EU
No AIM-54s in active service anymore. Soon to be no F-14s either. Anyway back to the point.
I'm not saying it was a realistic exercise, it clearly was designed to say 'Look the F-15s are rubbish! Buy the F-22 or we're all going to die,' However the Indians had no AWACS, and were using older model Flankers as well. Also using Indian designed radars which weren't brand spanking new either.
So without the big force multiplier of brand new radars or AWACS the comparable era Soviet/Russian planes beat the US planes. So just saying Soviet designed planes would be swept from the sky is a big statement and based on one sided fights. Even the forces/training/etc up and it becomes a fight.
