I wonder if this is where we’ll first see an F-16 shoot down another F-16. MiG on MiG combat has been a thing, of course (most recently in Ukraine but I’m sure there’s been more in the post-Soviet past), but the disintegration of the US’s sphere of influence will inevitably go “hot” (:trump-anguish: ) at some point
I tried to find info on the Tajik Civil War, but it seems no one in the Opposition had planes, and the Tajiks relied on Russia for air-support but seemingly never had to dogfight. I assume some of Egypt's wars as well as India's have seen MiG vs MiG combat
Planes and warships apparently!
Ah, there it is. Just two NATO allies being friends, good buddies, and comrades in arms :wholesome:
:comfy:
