Default US military air to air training

Has there been a good discussion of current US aviation military air to air
training.

In ref to this year's big exercise with India where the press is reporting
that the USAF's best F-15Cs got their butt whipped by India's Su-27.

The US Air Force got a "wake-up call" in air-to-air training exercises with
India earlier this year that showed the United States can no longer take air
superiority for granted in a conflict, a top US general said Wednesday.
A study of the "Cope India" air exercise, conducted by the US and Indian air
forces in Gwalior, India last February, is secret, said General Hal
Hornburg, head of the air force's Air Combat Command.

Specifics are said to be classified, which means it didn't go over too well.

Has the US gotten spoiled during the past few conflicts and been lulled into
thinking that there will never be another air war? Looks like it will take
another Vietnam to wake everyone up and discover that air to air dogfighting
is an extremely perishable skill. A skill that you cannot just revive on
demand.
