You need to watch or re-watch the "Dogfights of Desert Storm" show.
Here is a brief:
American tatics and technology in the 1980s and 1990s were shaped by the lessons learned during the Vietnam War. When Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait on August 2nd, 1990, American air power faced its greatest threat in decades. So the United States and its allies decided to make things right to force Iraqi forces to pull out of Kuwait. The plan is Operation Desert Storm, but just two days into the operation, the Iraqis send up more fighters to challenge the Americans. On January 19th, F-15 Eagle pilot Larry Pitts goes head-to-head with some of the best pilots in the Iraqi Air Force in one of the most thrilling dogfights of the Gulf War.
Here are some videos:
It required the combination of extreme skill of American pilots, most advanced figher planes of the time, superior threat detection capabilities, and BVR to beat these highly experienced Iraqi fighter pilots.
After loosing some of the best fighter pilots and fighter planes in the early days of the war, what could Saddam do? Some people may have defected him due to the disaster of the Gulf War. I doubt that any other Airforce (of any Islamic nation) could defeat such a superior enemy.
Here is the conclusion:
In just over one month, allied air power broke the back of the fifth largest air force in the world. In late February 1991, the air war is affectively over having cleared the way for ground forces to retake Kuwait and chase Saddam Hussein's remaining forces back within their borders and victory is declared in only three days. With Operation Desert Storm, aerial warfare took a giant leap into the future. But Larry Pitts speaks for every man who has ever flown an aircraft into combat. An aerial victory against an enemy airplane is a career highlight for him. In his mind, he did what any fighter pilot would have done had an enemy plane been put in front of him. He relied on his training, engaged the enemy, protected his wingman as he protected him, and came out it alive.
Also, have a look at Iraqi air-to-air victories during Gulf War 1991:
