Basically, I don’t see how the Israeli AF is better than the IAF because :-

The best pilots in the Israeli AF are undoubtedly the F-15 pilots, since only top scoring pilots get to fly the best planes i.e. F-15, hence superceding Israeli F-16 and C-2 Kfir pilots by far. But US F-15 pilots beat Israeli F-15 pilots as the best F-15s fly only with the USAF. Still better than the US F-15 pilots are the IAF Su-30 MKI pilots as Cope India DACT sorties showed.

And there you have it, simple logic

As for PAF pilots, I don’t think they’ve had much hands-on experience with sophisticated BVR long range missiles or Helmet Mounted Sights, avionics, etc., so I doubt their competitiveness.
