Did the Indian pilots really ace the Americans?

Maybe. But its a great one for debate

This is an archived blog post from The Acorn.

A big debate — both in quantitative and qualitative terms — rages on at Sepia Mutiny over the outcome of the joint air exercises between India and the United States. Indian pilots, apparently, outdid their American counterparts so many times that some military-types called it a wake up call’ for the United States.

Was it a simple case of Mera Bharat Mahan or an equally simple case of US air force generals creating a bogey to lobby Congress to release funds for their desired toys? The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Exactly where, even the discussion on Sepia Mutiny does not tell.
