How India brought down the US’ supersonic man

216 PAF vs 1200+ IAF. India loses 102, while Pakistan loses 34 aircraft. Somehow India won the air war.

The Western media keeps printing Yeagers' kill ratio claims to try and show the superiority of Western fighters to Soviet fighters. Nice to see just how delusional he was.

Maybe if he was in a Combat Aircraft he probably would've shoved those soviet migs down the indian pilots rear ends, but too bad he was in a twin beechcraft.

indians like to boast about shooting down defenseless people, not very manly.

Ask good ol' Chuck.

From a man whose job was to train PAF pilots to take on Indians. How about ask Indira Gandhi's opinion about the war ?

Post a neutral credible link man..

This has been discussed on this forum. And it is clear PAF had complete air superiority over the IAF in 1971. The outcome of the war has nothing to do with who had overall air superiority

Chuck was an advisor, not a trainer.

Please read the article before you comment. It does not mention anything about shooting the old man's flying plane. I again reatrait you to read in full before you pass dum remarks before you read.

LMAO. The only war where PAF could match up to the IAF was the '65 war.

We learnt our lessons quickly and '71 was a complete turnaround. After the intial burst, PAF was wise enough to retire most of its fighters to hardened shelters and gave Indian bombers a complete free run inside Pak skies. The only danger to the IAF fighters/bombers after the intial week was from AAA and not PAF fighters.

That was also the reason why PAF suffered less fighter casualties than IAF..while IAF was indulged in a wide range of missions from recce,aerial warfare, CAS, bombing runs..PAF was consigned only to aerial warfare and that too only intially.

... the role of the Indian air force was both extensive and daring. During the fourteen-day war, the air force's Western Command conducted some 4,000 sorties. There was little retaliation by Pakistan's air force, partly because of the paucity of non-Bengali technical personnel. Additionally, this lack of retaliation reflected the deliberate decision of the Pakistan Air Force headquarters to conserve its forces because of heavy losses incurred in the early days of the war.
