How capable are Saudi F-15s?

I seem to recall a Saudi F15 kill on a Mirage during GW-II ('91);
essentially the US AWACS and other fighters in the area "set up" the kill
for the Saud Eagle, and then held back while he engaged. At least that's
the spin ABC News put on it. I don't mean that negatively, though.

That is a true story. The Saudi wet his pants and was screaming like a
woman, but the damn F-1 was painting like a barn on his scope, and
sooner or later all he had to do was pull the trigger.

The case of the U.S.S. Stark, the Saudis never even got off the ground.
Their 5 minute alert birds were told to stand-down and let the Iraqi
return without a fight. The AWACS crew created an international
incident in labeling the Saudis "...a bunch of cowards."
