The question is training method and quality of the pilots. Are they able to
work independently? Tied to ground controllers? Well trained on their planes
and equipment? What weapons are on the planes? Good radars and missiles or
"export versions?" And what generation are the respective planes?

If it is an out and out fight I go with F-22A. Best balance. I would want
the pilot to be the best, though. One of the deadliest North Vietnamese
aces, Col. Tomb, flew a MiG-17.
