The Vice Chief of Air Staff, Air Mrashal P.K.Barbora PVSM,VM,ADC is quiet a reputed fighter pilot in the IAF - he peroformed a maneuver in a Mig-21 which even the manufacturers did think that the fighter was capable of. His squadron of Mig-21's (of which he was the CO) also defeated a squadron of Jaguar aircraft at the Gunners Meet (India's Top Gun), which was a very commendable given the fact that the Jaguar is a vastly superior aircraft to the Mig and enjoyed a reputation then which is enjoyed by the Su-30 MKI in the IAF today and no one in the IAF had thought that this feat was possible.
Sorry mate, but isnt Jaguar basically a ground attack aircraft as opposed to the highly maneuverable fighter Mig-21? So isnt that a nobrainer that Migs will easily outclass Jaguars in air-air combat?
