What does everyone make of this?

Specifically, the following passage?


The tone of the conversations was sharpened by a still-unreleased
report about the series of air combat training engagements earlier
this year between Indian air force Su-30MKs and F-15Cs from Elmendorf
AFB, Alaska; the latter were equipped with the U.S.' newest
long-range, high-definition radars.

Those who have read draft copies of the report say the Su-30MKs and
F-15 pilots were seeing each other at the same time with their radars,
but the Indian pilots were getting off the simulated first shot with
their AA-10 Alamo missiles and often winning the long-range
engagements. The Indian pilots also had more flight time in the
previous year than the U.S. pilots, roughly 300 hr. compared with 250
hr., the pilot said.

Those factors are causing the U.S. to rethink the formula that they
always will be facing less well-trained pilots and inferior weaponry.
They also reinforce the argument that the U.S. needs a fighter with
greater radar range (the F/A-22's is more than 100 naut. mi.), stealth
(the F-15 has a huge radar cross section) and fused sensors so that
pilots can easily grasp what's going on around them.
