Apples to apples comparisons.
The luftaffe is an airforce and they lost the air war.

The USAF won the air war in both cases.

As far as i know usaf changed this tactic because it was inefective.
That's even a better measurement for the USAF. The measure of any good army is not when things go right but when things go wrong.

if only numbers count China is top 3

The only measure that counts is who controls the skies. There is no way in hell Israel can control the skies the USAF and the USN controls. China is not even in the same league here.
