I believ
there isn’t just one source because it was a multi year event u can probably google each and one but here’s the timeline
2000ish - USAF asked $65 billion to buy F22. Congress has that plane is too advanced we don’t have an immediate adversary don’t need it . F15,16,18 are fine
around 2004-2006. USAF held red flag (Air Force exercise ) with India where they took their F-15 /F-16 with them they purposly lost to their migs they made it so obvious they gave India 9:1 kill ratio . They went back to congress said the F15,16,18 u were saying we’re enough just got beaten by Indian migs AKA Russian technology
Congress approved the purchase but one senator knew the LM was fucking with them so he purposly put the amendment that LM can’t export this plane under the guise technology being too advanced to get back LM
around 2008. USAF held reg flag again with Indian only took their F-16s against Su-30 or 35. Idk which one exactly but one that has 360 vector thrust. USAF kicked their asses to prove dominance that we were playing. With u last time .
- that’s why I dont doubt PAF shot down SU-30 with their F-16. US did it a lot of times
To get around the amendment and get back at congress LM convicted the USAF to retire F-16s and order whole bunch of F-35
when was that happened? Can you share some reference to that please? Was it really India? Or were you refering to The Hainan Island incident occurred on April 1, 2001?
or were probably referring to some of the mutual military exercises?
