No surprise. The US feel far ahead of everyone, but in the facts, they have
nothing so special. In weaponry, the Russians are doing quite well. This is
why the US could not invade them for having WMDs. They know that they would
not be able to.

The success of India's air force against US fighters in an exercise
suggests the US may be losing its air superiority, a US general has
said.

Gen Hal Hornburg said an exercise in February, known as Cope India,
had been "a wake-up call".

The mock air battles in central India had pitted US F-15s against
advanced Russian-designed Sukhoi SU-30s.

General Hornburg said the results show the US may not be as far ahead
of the rest of the world as it had thought.
