Great that must have been you strapped in your seat @ your Pentium IV flying your own F-15 in cyberspace
Those Foxbats were hit in unfair encounters either on the ground, landing or taking-off. While Cope India Mig-21s were doing a better job dealing with F-15s.
If theres one fighter that could have taken on a Foxbat in any true sense, it could have been this :
With some modifications Mach 3 would have been within easy reach, but even without the Crusader III would have become the fastest fighter aircraft in the world. An advanced guided missile like the Sparrow is useless without good avionics, and the F8U-3 had the most advanced electronic systems of its day. With the Westinghouse AN/APQ-74 as its core the weapons system was comparable with those later used in the F-14 Tomcat and F-15 Eagle, a good ten to fifteen years later. Now how even more advanced than this, is the Mig-25 PD Foxbat "E" and Mig-31D
