10-0 Kill Ratio in Air Combat by PAF in Soviet Afghan War.
Totally asymmetric engagements. Huge technological gap between PAF F-16s and the Soviet/Afghan aircrafts. Nothing to be proud of, at least in my humble opinion. If these were shot down by F-6 or Mirages, perhaps than it would be considered 'kills'.
A kill is a kill.
Since Our arch enemy to the east still flys a lot of soviet era planes, it would be interesting to see how PAF matches up, considering BVR fighters like JF-17 and F-16 coming. Perhaps with the exception of Mirage 2000, Su30 and Mig29, rest are all cannon fodder.
But it also shows that PAF was a very proficient wvr/dog fighting force.
