I thought that the "buy a bunch of old MiGs" model was blown apart by Middle Eastern MiGs getting annihilated by Israelis in F-15s.

- ovi256 12y agoIf you put the Israeli pilots in the MIGs and the Middle Eastern pilots in the F-15s, the result would probably not change. Hardware is sexy but sexy doesn't win battles.

- JVIDEL 12y agoThere's a world of difference between a rusted barely fly worthy Mig and the "Bison" upgrade the Indians and Israelis created. Case in point the old Mig-21 had a so-so radar from the start, the Bison version has a state-of-the-art radar able to target and fire at multiple objectives at the same time. And that's just once component of many that were upgraded.
