Best Trained Air Force Pilots

Here is how I'm going to prove that Pakistani pilots are the best in the world!


Not only that but in air-air combat in the 1971 War, Pakistan had a 5-1 Kill Ratio!!!!!!!!!
In the 1965 War they had a 2.5-1 Kill ration in air-air combat!!!!!!!!

Overall, the Israelis have the best trained pilots. They boast a 30:1 ratio over the Arabs in air to air combat.

That is impressive, no doubt, but they were never under the strain IRIAF pilots were under (imprisonment, sanctions, etc.).

I heard an Iranian F-14 was shot down by an Iraqi chopper during the Iraq-Iran war. Is it true?

Pakistan was sanctioned at that point in time!

just cause some country had a XX/X ration of kills against another country doesn't mean it can do the same to every country. it might even be an example of how untrained certain airforces are. for ex. Us can kill a few hundred iraqi aricraft with minimal losses, buy can it do the same to europe or china? this is not a good measure of training because there is no control group.

No. I can assure you that is false (their best aircraft, the Mirage F.1EQ, could down one only with luck and an advantage in numbers!). However, it has been confirmed that three Iraqi MiG-21s were shot down by Iranian Cobras.

iraq had mig-29s during the latter part of the war. they would have been the only planes that could fight the f-14

It was also confirmed that an Iraqi Mirage F-1EQ downed an Iranian F-14A.
