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
:comfy:
