I don't know why people keep saying how Israel and USA, etc. are so great because their pilots/troops are so experienced because they have fought in many battles. These countries have only fought against far inferior enemies with crude equipment in comparison. Any experience they gained from this might be of negative value because they may be complacent and be unprepared when they have to fight against a near-peer adversary, like China, who are well-equipped and well trained with ample resources.
This also goes for their military equipment too. Everybody keeps saying it's so fantastic but all it's been used against are poorly equipped (in comparison) and vastly inferior opponents. Yet people seem to, by default, say US/Israeli troops/equipment are the best there is. I'm not saying they are bad but nothing about pushing around AK-wielding Jihadists proves to me that US or Israel deserve to be recognized as the best for it. Only when they fight a proper military like Russia or China, with positive results, will I concede they have anything to shout about.
