Dont be a fool with that comment......its well renound that A harrier jump jet is one of the hardest planes to control and fly.....only special pilots are selected from the RAF to fly the harriers...as regards to stealth planes and so forth most are computer guided and operated...!!!! the pilots skill level isnt comparable.!!
Just another point to make out about the RAF during the gulf war's...whilse most yanks were flying 20000-30000 feet and droping bombs...the RAF were flyin at 10000 and under doing the same job....!!
as for your other comment ''''''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.''''''
lol what are you on..???? yeah they still uses dials from world war 2 planes..!!!!
who many contries actulally have...??????
The Eurofighter is the only plane at the moment with the specific 'HUD' display items viewd on the pilots visor screen, amongst things he can target an enemy through his visor and send a voice activated command to fire a missile to the target..!!
Other planes with thss type of technology will be Raptor and JSF being that the HUD display system is Made by BAE systems for those planes as well...!!!
as for BVR how many air forces have True BVR....??? not many....most true BVR missile systems are still under test and will become inforced with new fighters....!! BVR is not just a matter of Missile...its also a matter of RADAR system..!!
Another 'not majour points but none the less valid'....One of the top Test flight pilots for the jsf...is a wing commander from the RAF...!! How many foreign natitionals have been able to join and train in TOP GUN in USA non that i know of (i can be wrong on this one so sorry if i am..!!) whilst a few British Pilots have gone through and passed...!!! During Gulf war there was a again a British wing commander Flying an F117...!!! Most say something about the RAF..!! which coinsidently is the oldest and original Flying Air corp as you yanks say..!!!
Also a worth of mention as to pilots/training/experience which are not mentioned are the greeks/turkish pilots.....There not bad....and are into dog fights between one another on a constant basis even in peace time between the two nations..!!!!
'**** fighting' between one another for national pride..!!!
