USAF Pilot mocks IAF

USAF Pilot mocks IAF:
Great news guys, we got this news yesterday that one USAF pilot at the rank of Lt.col. mocked about Indian air force pilots and their Russian made state of the art SU-30MKI fighter planes. Actually the comments came on the back drop of India participating first time in the RED FLAG, an advanced aerial combat training exercise hosted at Nellis Air force Base Nevada and Eielson Air Force Base Alaska,which is meant for the NATO and other allied countries for real aerial combat situations. India was invited first time for this exercise in which more than 25 nations have already participated.
As far the reviews goes which I have read and heard in the talk shows..india proved far more better than is considered…..they even beat their USAF counter parts in drill and mock combats.and many new points have been appreciated about indian air force…one of them being the average age of the indian contingent ,which comprised a 247-IAF gentlemen of the Indian Air Force, was something like 25/26 years only..lowest in the whole group.
That means a lot…even our rookies can beat their expert fighter pilots.

In this 15-day multinational air exercise , the IAF involved eight SU-30 MK-Is, two IL-78 air-to-air refuellers and one IL-76 transport aircraft. The contigent comprised 156 personnel below the officers rank and 91 officers (including 10 members of ‘Garud’ — IAF’s special force).while Americans came with their billion dollars mad amchine F-22.
