If that was an attempt at sarcasm, then you should at least know that these were Russian trained pilots during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan, and probably using top notch russian equipment of the time.

Lets forget about it. No one was comparing any one to any one. The jet that was shot down was flown by russian trained pilots. Many a times the Pakistani AF went head to head against the russians as well during that time. But for the sake of the F-16's and for political reasons the kills of f-16's were highlighted more. And by the way an intruder is an intruder let it be any tom d!ck and harry.

You digressed by asking for comparison, try and digest it.

Common buddy, ignore the newbies. His immaturity is visible from his comments.

A newbie always has a few grams frustration to throw out, over time either he will learn the more rational way or will have stomach full of trolling and disappear in thin air.
