For the last two years, India has beaten the USAF in wargames using Russian Su-30s. This is of some concern to Taiwan, since its F-16s might someday have to face Chinese-owned Su-30s.
It turns out that the rules of the US-Indian wargames may have been a bit slanted in India’s favor:
These days, American pilots use close in dog fighting (with heat seeking Sidewinder missiles) as a fall back tactic. The main air-to-air weapon of the U.S. Air Force is now the long range (over 50 kilometers) AMRAAM missile, and superior radar equipment…when American fighter pilots go train with foreign air forces, they have to take their BVR (Beyond Visual Range) tactics off the table, since under those conditions, the “enemy” force would not have much of a chance.
(Taiwan received the first of its AMRAAM missiles back in 2004.)
Winds of Change had a similar, though longer, take on these wargames. Many of the commenters went into more technical detail than I am qualified to discuss, but one had a political observation that I quite liked:
(The results are that) the Indian gov’t gets to go to its people and say "We beat the U.S.!", and the DoD gets to go to Congress and say "We lost to India!"
