Did the Saudis ever actually shoot any Iraqi a/c down?
Yes Stories I've heard are that they were "unsure" of how to actually use their weapon systems, and had to be coached mid-combat by the USAF and RAF who were around them at the time? Probably Was some political pressure for the RSAF to contribute to GWI, so despite the fact that another a/c (RAF F3??) had the shot, the commander denied it? yes, the RSAF plane was pretty much handed those kills, instead of a USAF or RAF plane getting it.
