- run4yourlives 16y agoNo, they did not, actually.
- borism 16y agoI will not get into arguing about that here. Let's just say HN isn't the place to get factual information about weapons systems - when I need that I go to Key Publishing forum and such.
- run4yourlives 16y agoKeep in mind that many of the opinions around Soviet technology were overly optimistic. Until the Mig-29 and Su-27 entered service in the 80's, they had nothing that could match the F-14/F-15/F16 and F-18. The kill ratios of the F-15 and F-16 speak for themselves.
