i know US jet is much better. how many of best russian jets could one

The quality of the pilot is much more important than the quality
of the fighter. The nature of the engagement is also more important
than the quality of the fighter. It may well make sense to say that
one fighter is better than another, but quantifying it with
expected loss ratios is pointless.

okay, what if we have two identical pilots with same skills. clones in
fact. which would win?

Assuming a neutral start to the engagement, odds are that both fly
home to base.
