i know US jet is much better. how many of best russian jets could one
US jet take on at once? i'll bet the best US jet can shoot down at
least 5 of russia's best jets before going down.

It might depend on the pilot......I remember Chuck Yeager and another
Air
Force officer debated wether the F86 or Mig15 was a better plane. The
settled it by taking turns in each plane and dogfighting each
other......Yeager waxed him good both times.......

Now in fairness technology is quite a bit different now....but I bet a
Mig29
would be a good match for it's counterpart in the West.


okay, what if there were two yeagers and one piloted the mig while other
the f86?

Yeah, but the very point is there isn't another Yeager. Only one of those
around :+) Each pilot is different. Now, maybe if Chuck Yeager and Erich
Hartmann decided to have a friendly exercise, or Chuck Yeager and Adolf
Galland.....
